Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trenching evaluation was undertaken in advance of residential development. The site is situated in the centre of Chadwell St Mary, c. 4.5km to the north of the River Thames. A small bungalow was located in the north-west corner of the site and the remaining land was used as a car mechanic's garage and yard, with three large depots formerly located in the south-eastern corner. Trench 7, in the south-western corner, revealed three modern post-holes. Trench 6 contained three modern post-holes. Two undated linear features, aligned east to west and north to south respectively, located in the northern end of trench 3 and the western end of trench 2 were probably associated with the back garden of the demolished bungalow. One undated ditch aligned north-west to south-east was also present in the northern end of trench 3. Trench 1 was located in the north-western corner of the site, in the front garden of the former bungalow, and was targeted upon a former possible boundary ditch depicted in the historic mapping. One ditch and two intersecting gullies were revealed. Ditch 5 was aligned north-east to south-west and contained one fill which produced animal bone (tooth), two sherds of very late medieval/ early post-medieval pottery and a presumably residual sherd of possible Saxon pottery. No relationship between the ditch and the other features within the trench could be ascertained. The two intersecting gullies were probably garden features as they were very shallow. |
