Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA), Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) were commissioned by Bellway Homes Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation on the site of former Marconi Works, New Street, Chelmsford. Five evaluation trenches, varying in length between 7.5m and 24.9m, were excavated along the southern edge of the site. Due to demolition constraints no trenches could be excavated in the southwest corner. No archaeological features were discovered in any of the excavated trenches, with further, extensive, modern ground disturbance noted in all trenches. Given this, and in light of the likely disturbance to the southwestern corner of the site arising from the construction of the Steam Mill and covered reservoir, it was agreed with the archaeological advisor to the local planning authority that the outstanding trenches in this area could be abandoned and no further archaeological work would be required. |
