Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development within Witham, a town which had Saxon origins. An Iron Age and Roman site had been recorded in the vicinity. During the evaluation, rubbish pits and small boundary ditches of medieval date were identified, suggesting that building activity had not occurred at the site during this period. Use of rubbish pits continued during the 15th-16th centuries. 18th century and later features included a storage pit, a well and further rubbish pits. [AIP] |
