Abstract: |
In October 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land adjacent to Fir Tree Walk, Heybridge, Essex (TL 8604 0814). The evaluation was carried out in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the construction of two houses with associated garages and driveways (Maldon Planning Ref FUL/MAL08/00401). The Essex HER records numerous finds in the area, including Roman and Saxon artefacts (EHER 7814-6) and Iron Age remains (EHER 7814). Previous excavations to the east revealed evidence of extensive prehistoric, Roman and Saxon activity (O'Connor 2007). Within the site a large mound is present under mature trees. The mound was thought to have been a 19th century landscape feature associated with a nearby house, The Towers. Alternatively the mound may have had earlier origins, perhaps Roman or prehistoric. The site had moderate potential for archaeological remains. In the event no archaeological features were present, and the mound was shown to be a natural feature. |
