Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East, the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA) at the Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) was commissioned to undertake an archaeological field evaluation on land at 66 Hall Farm Road, Benfleet, Essex. The evaluation comprised the excavation of three 10m long trenches, one located within the footprint of each of the proposed building. On the request of the monitoring archaeologist part of trench 3 was doubled in width. The sequence of stratigraphy was consistent across the site and comprised mid brown compact silty clay overlain by dark brownish grey soft silty clay topsoil. Trench 2 revealed one pit, while trench 3 contained one pit, one gully and one ditch. No feature was discovered in trench 1. Both of the pits were dated back to the 1st century and the ditch was of medieval date, however it also produced a couple of 3rd century sherds and an early 4th century coin. The gully contained one small piece of Roman pottery. |
