Abstract: |
In September and October 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological monitoring during groundworks on land at the Megazone Laser Centre, New Writtle Street, Chelmsford, Essex (TL 7075 0633). The monitoring was commissioned by NR Powell Dev Ltd and conducted in compliance with a planning condition of Chelmsford District Council, as advised by Essex County Council Historic Environment Advisor (ECC HEA). The condition was attached to planning approval for the proposed demolition of the existing building and the construction of seven houses with ancillary car parking, cycle storage and bin/recycling store (Chelmsford Planning Ref. 12/00884/FUL). The site was subject to an archaeological trial trench evaluation by AS in August 2013 (Smith et al 2013), and the evaluation identified evidence of well-preserved 2nd century Roman occupation indicating that modern truncation of the site has not been total. It was felt, therefore, that this site had potential for archaeological remains. In the event the monitoring recorded a Roman (2nd century) ditch (F2006) in the same area of the site as the Roman features recorded during the evaluation. Like the evaluation features the ditch was 2nd century Roman. |
