| Abstract: |
The construction of a water pipeline in 1989--90 from the M11 Birchanger roundabout to link with the mains supply pipe south of Sawbridgeworth provided the opportunity to study a thin transect, c. 10km long, running north--south in northwest Essex. The monitoring located nineteen sites, of which eight were excavated. Five revealed evidence of Iron Age occupation in the form of pits, ditches or cremations, two contained medieval features consisting of pits, post holes and ditches, one contained Roman evidence, and two produced evidence of Late Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age activity. The remaining sites were not excavated but finds were dated and recorded on the Essex Historic Environment Record. |
