Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay near the centre of the late Saxon and medieval town of Maldon, directly to the east of a Carmelite friary, founded in 1292. During the evaluation, a Roman pit and a prehistoric pit and ditch, tentatively dated to the Early Iron Age, were revealed. A 12th-14th century pit, post-medieval pits and gullies, and several undated features of a possible prehistoric date were also recorded. Pottery dating from the late prehistoric to the post-medieval period was found, including one sherd of early Saxon date. The medieval and earlier features were shallow in all parts of the site, and a build-up of 16th-20th century deposits was noted. This suggested that post-medieval disturbance and truncation of earlier deposits had occurred. [Au(adp)] |
