Abstract: |
In November 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Colchester Skip Hire, Greenacres, Old Packards Lane, Wormingford, Essex (NGR TL 93458 30397). The evaluation was commissioned by The Johnson Dennehy Planning Partnership on behalf of Colchester Skip Hire, and undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a new waste recycling facility (Planning Ref. ESS/13/11/COL). The site lies in an area of archaeological potential, but one in which there has been little previous archaeological investigation. A moderate potential for below ground archaeological deposits has been identified on the Historic Environment Characterisation Project for Colchester (ECC 2009). The zone is characterised by cropmark sites of prehistoric and Roman date, identified through aerial photography, and evidence of later historic settlement, including medieval moated sites. The proposed waste facility lies adjacent to a medieval moated site, which has an extant 15th century house within the moated platform (Essex Historic Environment Record EHER 9175). It is possible that this once formed part of a larger medieval farmstead/settlement with associated field systems, which have the potential to extend into the area of proposed development. In the event the evaluation of the southern sector of the site revealed no archaeological features or finds. |
