Abstract: |
In October 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Holloway Road, Heybridge, Essex (NGR TL 849085). It is proposed to construct a residential development with associated infrastructure. The evaluation was carried out to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to outline approval for the redevelopment of the site (Maldon Council Planning Ref. OUT/MAL/14/00990), based on the advice of the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (HEA ECC) The linear anomaly identified by the geophysical survey was revealed in Trenches 15 and 16, but not 14. Five weak linear anomalies, aligned NW/SE, were also identified but these were not detected in any of the trenching and are likely evidence of post-medieval ploughing. Archaeological features, all linears (ditches and gullies), were recorded in ten trenches in the central and eastern sectors of the site (Trenches 8, 11 - 12, 14 - 17, 19 - 20 and 22). Many of the features were un-dated. These include the ditches and gullies in Trenches 8, 11 - 12, 15, 17, 19 - 20 and 22. A single piece of prehistoric struck flint was recovered from Gully F1025 (Trench 12), and Ditch F1009 (Trench 14) contained residual Roman tegula. Post-medieval or modern ditches were recorded in Trenches 14 and 15, and these features appeared to represent interconnected land drains. |
