Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation and monitoring was carried out in advance and during construction works at the King William Public House, Church Street, Bocking between December 2008 and February 2009. Fieldwork commenced with the monitoring of foundation trenches for a pair of new cottages located to the rear of the site. Three pits of 19th/20th century date were revealed, while an area of modern disturbance was also noted to the east of the cottages footprint. At a later date a single evaluation trench was excavated across the footprint of a third cottage located at the front of the site on the Church Street frontage. The earliest archaeological feature encountered was an undated roadside ditch of possible medieval or early post-medieval date. Overlying the ditch was a truncated wall foundation of post-medieval date that comprised a line of re-used 16th or 17th century bricks. In the eastern half of the trench were a series of pits and post-holes of 19th or 20th century date that can be attributed to rubbish disposal and garden or back-yard activities. Many of the features cut a buried topsoil deposit of broadly 18th century date. At the western end of the evaluation trench were the remains of a vertically-sided trench and an adjacent concrete and brick structure believed to be part of a WW2 Spigot Mortar Emplacement. |
