Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land off of Everest Way, Heybridge in advance of housing development. Six evaluation trenches, each measuring 30m long by 1.6m wide, were excavated across the 0.6 hectare site. Scattered remains of possible Prehistoric, Roman and post-medieval/modern date were identified, along with a number of undated features, many of which may have been of natural origin. Very few finds of any antiquity were recovered, with the dating evidence for the prehistoric features consisting of one small fragment of pottery and a fire-cracked flint, whilst the Roman period was only represented by two fragments of roof tile. Possible prehistoric features comprised a pit in Trench 4 and a gully and adjacent post-hole in Trench 5. A ditch of probable Roman date was excavated in Trench 2. Two post-holes in Trench 1 were probably of post-medieval or later date, while in Trenches 2 and 6 were the remains of a north-east/south-west aligned late 19th century field boundary ditch containing a variety of post-medieval and modern finds |
