Abstract: |
This report presents the results of the archaeological excavation carried out by Archaeology South-East on land west of Hall Road at Eslenham, Essex in 2014. The fieldwork was commissioned by Bovis Home. The earliest feature on site was a late Neolithic/early Bronze Age curvilinear feature, believed to be a barrow, with associated pitting at the north-western most part of Area B. This then became the foci for a brief period of Saxon activity. The next period of site activity was the later medieval, denoted by a strip system of fields at the south-eastern most extent of Area A. The latest site activity occurred during the post-medieval period, with a series of field systems in Area B, and a farmstead building in Area A. The report is written and structured so as to conform to the standards required of post-excavation analysis work as set out in Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE), Project Planning Notes 3 (PPN3): Archaeological Excavation (English Heritage 2008). Interim analysis of the stratigraphic, finds and environmental material has indicated a provisional chronology, and assessed the potential of the site archive to address the original research agenda, as well as assessing the significance of those findings. This has highlighted what further analysis work is required in order to enable suitable dissemination of the findings in a final publication. It is suggested that this should take the form of a journal article in Transactions of the Essex Society for Archaeology and History. |
