Abstract: |
In September and October 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried an archaeological evaluation at land at Moor Hall Farm, Rainham, Essex (NGR TQ 5500 8160). The evaluation was commissioned by Ingrebourne Valley Ltd and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition imposed by London Borough of Havering and attached to planning consent for the construction of a golf course and re-profiling of the site. During rescue excavations undertaken in 1979, features dating to the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods as well as a Bronze Age cemetery were uncovered. Evidence of Romano-British and medieval settlement have also been identified in the area. Previous phases of evaluation, and monitoring and recording of the site in 2009, 2010 and 2011 revealed numerous prehistoric features in the eastern and central parts of the site as well as the medieval features and probably a habitation layer in the southern and western parts of the site. Therefore the site had a potential for prehistoric and medieval archaeological remains. In the event the evaluation revealed no archaeological features except the modern drainage. Two unstratified flint cores were found. |
