Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out at The Cornerstone, Eastern Southend United Reformed Church, Central Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, during groundworks for the construction of a new church and hall complex. Monitoring of the 1841 sq m site was undertaken in two phases between August 2010 and October 2011. Although the site is situated within a landscape that was farmed and settled in prehistoric times no evidence for occupation of this date was found during the monitoring. In particular there were no remains that could be linked to the discovery of five Iron Age urns in the vicinity of Bournemouth Park Road in the 19th century. Other than clearly modern disturbances, the only archaeological features noted were a line of three post-holes along the northern edge of the development area. These were located very close to the boundary and are almost certainly the remains of a former fence line of 20th century date. |
