Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out at 81 Laindon Road, Bilericay during groundworks for an extension and new garage to the rear and side of the existing house. The footprint of the new building covered approximately 73 square metres. Archaeological remains dating to the Roman period were identified that are believed to be part of the Roman settlement previously excavated beneath Billericay School. No features of earlier or later date were observed, other than disturbances of a clearly modern nature. The Roman features consisted of a rubbish pit, a pebble surface probably forming part of a yard or track and an overlying layer. The recovered stratified pottery suggests that these broadly date to the 2nd or 3rd century, although un-stratified pottery indicates that activity may have continued into the 4th century. Finds from the pit included several large pieces of slag/clinker that indicate that metalworking was taking place in the vicinity. |
