Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations at the corner of Legg Street and New Street, Chelmsford, Essex, revealed four phases of activity. The area of the site remained on the northern periphery of the town from the medieval period until the 19th century. The archaeological record of the site, through all phases, is dominated by activity indicative of being on the town's periphery including brickearth quarrying, brick making and refuse pitting. A small group of medieval features, including quarry pits for the extraction of the natural brickearth, were revealed on the site. The early post-medieval period (1480-1600/1700) was represented by a series of pits, dominated by quarrying of the natural birckearth with a small number of features associated with domestic rubbish disposal. During the later post-medieval period (1600-1800) the pitting continued, although now primarily for the disposal of domestic refuse. The remnants of a brick kiln, dated to the late 17th to early 18th century, were also recorded during this phase. In the 19th century a basemented brick dwelling was constructed to the south of the site but the small number of rubbish pits also recorded illustrate the site remained within the back-gardens of properties fronting onto New Street and Legg Street. | |||||||||||||||
