Abstract: |
In July 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at the former Anglia Ruskin University site, Victoria Road South, Chelmsford, Essex (NGR TL 7038 0696. The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the redevelopment of the site comprising the re-use of the Anne Knight and Frederick Chancellor Buildings and the partial demolition of the Law Building (Chelmsford Planning Ref. 11/01360/FUL). The site lies within the north western part of the medieval and post-medieval core of Chelmsford, and some 0.5km north west of the earlier Roman settlement of Caesaromagus, on the southern side of the Roman road which traversed the valley. The trenches were located to the rear of the Anne Knight building to access the levels of preservation and the extent of the Quaker burials. Ground disturbance was anticipated because a row of Victorian terraced house is shown on the 1874 OS map. Though the site was truncated Ditch F1007 was preserved and it contained prehistoric (mid/ late Bronze Age/ Iron Age) pottery. While the Roman and later periods are well known in Chelmsford prehistoric finds are sporadic. |
