Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an industrial development. Intensive and extensive occupation had occurred in the Chelmer Valley from at least the Neolithic period onwards, and monuments recorded in the area surrounding the proposal site had included a Neolithic cursus, a causewayed enclosure and two Late Bronze Age enclosures. Fieldwalking of the site had suggested that an area of archaeological potential was located in the south-west corner, at the former site of Trump's Farm. This was represented by coincidental concentrations of Romano-British and medieval/post-medieval building material, and Romano-British and medieval pottery. During the evaluation, the only features recorded were traces of farm outbuildings and two field boundaries, all of which had survived until the 20th century, and an anti-tank ditch dating from the Second World War.
