Abstract: |
An archaeological monitoring and recording investigation was conducted during the construction of a French drain surrounding the north, south and east walls of St John the Baptist Church, Little Yeldham, Essex (Fig. 1). The archaeological work was recommended and monitored by the Essex County Council Historic Environment Management Team and was conducted in accordance with an archaeological condition placed upon planning consent. The objective of the evaluation was to determine the presence or absence of any archaeological remains, including any finds or features associated with the early medieval history of the church and any burial evidence. The trench was excavated manually by the contractor. Its dimensions were a maximum of 50m x 0.8m x 0.6m. No finds or features were present. Modern alterations to the church were evident as cuts, backfilled with the removed topsoil. The addition of several buttresses, the porch and a large portion of the north-east side of the church during the Victorian and modern periods was identified by the presence of a layer of brick, tile and concrete foundations, the remainder of the foundations comprised flint nodules. |
