Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out on the site of a residential development at the rear of 16 High Street, Great Baddow. Five shallow pits and two gullies were excavated; none were positively dated. One small pit contained a fragment of Roman box-flue tile and a second, a small piece of possibly Roman brick. Both finds are likely to be residual but do attest to Roman activity in the vicinity. No other dateable finds were recovered. A third pit, of probable recent origin, contained the deliberately buried remains of a fire, including a small amount of burnt animal bone and charcoal. The features were all located to the rear of the property and are probably associated with back-yard or garden activity of post-medieval or later date. No evidence pertaining to the Saxon and medieval origins of Great Baddow was encountered. |
