Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and excavation was carried out at 67 Newbiggen Street, Thaxted during groundworks for an extension to the rear of the house. The footprint of the new extension covered approximately 26 square metres. No remains of Prehistoric, Roman or Saxon date were identified. One sherd of medieval pottery and one fragment of worked bone of possible medieval date were recovered, both of which were residual in later contexts. No features were found to indicate that this area, on the northern edge of Thaxted, was actively involved in the medieval cutlery industry. Three archaeological features were investigated. Two probable pits contained pottery dating from the 15th to 16th century while a third feature, possibly a boundary ditch, was undated. The features suggest that activity was taking place on site prior to the construction of the current house in the 17th century. A flint cobble garden path of comparatively modern date (19th or 20th century) was recorded running westwards from the house at the southern edge of the extension footprint. |
