Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches (total length, 12m) were positioned within the footprint of a proposed new extension. Six archaeological features were identified. These were a fragment of clay (a floor?), a post-medieval pit, two post-medieval brick foundations with an associated compacted gravel surface, and a brick culvert whose function was probably to run water away from the property across the meadows towards the River Chelmer. The excavated remains relate to the post-medieval and modern use of the yard area rear of this particular property, but there was no evidence relating to the medieval development of Chelmsford. A single Roman sherd shows that there was some Roman-period activity in the area. |
