Abstract:
Excavation was undertaken in advance of the construction of a new fitness suite and fire access track at Ockendon School, Eriff Drive, South Ockendon, during Spring 2007. Contained within the 387 square metre excavation area were the remains of part of a Middle Iron Age occupation site. This comprised of at least three, possibly four, inter-cutting ring gullies, representing the demolition and re-building of a single roundhouse over time. Two door support post-holes were identified and an external three-post structure that may be the surviving remains of a granary. Inter-mixed with the successive roundhouse remains were several phases of north-east/south-west aligned boundary ditch of broadly similar date. One Roman ditch, two medieval ditches and two probable post-medieval ditches were also identified and are probably the remnants of former agricultural field systems. A subsequent evaluation undertaken in 2008, to the south-west of the excavation area, in advance of the construction of a new assembly hall, revealed a single boundary ditch of 19th century date.
