Abstract: |
An archaeological trial-trench evaluation was conducted at Granary Cottage in advance of the construction of a new residential dwelling. The site is located to the east of Harlow Old Town, on the south side of Mulberry Green. A grade II listed c. 18th-century barn is located along the northern edge of the property (Listed building no. 119511). The trench was excavated to a maximum depth of 1.07m, at which level the orange silty clay drift geology of the area was exposed. The topsoil, 0.52m thick, overlay a silty clay levelling layer, 0.45m thick, containing late 18th- to early 19th-century pottery and tile as well as late 16th- to 17th-century brick. Three shallow linear horticultural features were aligned north-west to south-east and cut into the natural silty clay. The very shallow nature of each feature indicates severe truncation. Each of them contained a light grey silt fill and yielded no finds. The northern end of the trench was severely root-disturbed. The residual 16th- to 17th-century brick suggests post-medieval activity on the site but only evidence of horticultural practice was revealed within the trench. |
