Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken at the junction of High Street and Weald Road, Brentwood. The site was formerly occupied by four buidings that were demolished prior to fieldwork. A number of limitations on trench position meant that one 38 square metre trench was excavated. Exposed features were of relatively modern (19th/20th century) date. They were orientated north-west/south-east and were thus all aligned with the positions of the previously demolished properties. No remains dating to the medieval or post-medieval periods were identified. Research aims regarding the origins and development of medieval and post-medieval settlement could not therefore be addressed, although the lack of medieval features and absence of medieval pottery suggests this part of the town may not have been built-up in the medieval period. A similar lack of post-medieval remains, apart from one very abraded residual pottery sherd, suggests that this area may not have been developed until as late as the 18th or early 19th century. |
