Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in the car park area to the rear of the former Chequers Inn, High Street, Canewdon, in advance of the construction of a three bedroom bungalow. The evaluation was undertaken as a part of a condition placed on planning consent by Rochford District Council (11/00608/FUL) on the advice of the Essex County Council Historic Environment Management team (ECC HEM). One trench measuring 10m long by 1.6m wide and 0.5-0.7m deep, orientated northwestsoutheast, was excavated within the footprint of the new building by a machine fitted with a toothless bucket, under the supervision of an archaeologist. A layer of asphalt (0.05m) and underlying hardcore (0.4m) had previously been removed prior to the commencement of the archaeological works. The excavation of the trench revealed a further sequence of deposits that consisted of a 0.3-0.4m layer of dark greyish black compact silty clay, presumably the topsoil before the construction of the car park, overlying 0.2-0.3m of mid brownish grey compact silty clay subsoil, underlain by natural deposits comprising mid red-brown soft clayey silt with patches of gravel and compact brownish blue clay. The central part of the trench was cut through by a rain water drain encased in concrete (Plate 3, 4). No archaeological remains were identified. The evaluation suggests that the proposed development will not have any impact upon the archaeological record. |
