Abstract: |
In July 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological 'strip, map and record' investigation at Potter Street Academy Primary School, Carters Mead, Potter Street, Harlow, Essex (NGR TL 47075 08712). The investigation was commissioned by Elite Systems (GB) Ltd and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a new classroom. The site is situated in the area which has revealed archaeological remains of Roman and later pottery industries. A Roman pottery kiln was found just south of the site and Potter Street is well known as a medieval and post-medieval pottery industrial production centre. Therefore the site had a potential for remains associated with the adjacent Roman kiln and the late medieval/early post-medieval Harlow pottery industry. No archaeological features were revealed. The bulk of the pottery assemblage from the topsoil dates to the late medieval and post-medieval periods and probably all relates to the local pottery manufacturing industry. Although the site is adjacent to Roman kiln remains, Roman pottery was not found. Sparse fragments of Roman CBM, entirely comprised of fragments of tegula roof tile, were also present within the topsoil. |
