| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of three dwellings, within the medieval town of Kelvedon. Traces of Mesolithic occupation and evidence of Late Iron Age and early Roman settlement had been found in the area, and medieval activity had been recorded at several locations. The southern boundary wall of the development site was Listed, and was believed to have been part of an estate wall. During the evaluation, a large pit or well shaft containing 14th century pottery and a ditch containing 12th-14th century pottery were revealed. The ditch had been sealed beneath a bank 5m wide and 0.7m high. Pottery collected from the surface of the bank dated from the late 17th-early 18th centuries. A single post-hole was also recorded, but no datable finds were retrieved from its fill. [AIP] |
