Abstract: |
In March 2015 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation of land at West Essex Golf Club, Bury Road, Sewardstone, Essex (NGR TQ 3941 9664). The evaluation was undertaken to comply with a planning condition on approval for the development of the site. The latter comprises the construction of a new driving range and a practice area, in addition to the construction of a reservoir. The site is located in a rural area, c. 4km north of the London North Circular road, and c.4km south of the M25. It is situated in the Lea valley, an area known for Palaeolithic and Mesolithic deposits and find spots. The site is also situated between two small hamlets with a significant number of Grade II listed buildings in their historic cores, in addition to a Second World War anti-air gun site, now a designated scheduled monument. Despite this, no archaeological finds are known to have originated from within the 54.7ha of the golf course grounds. The proposed development of the site largely comprises minor landscaping changes, including the construction of several practice greens, the alteration of bunds, and the installation of a drainage system. However, it also includes the construction of a large reservoir in the eastern part of the site. Previous ground disturbance appears limited and related to landscaping associated with the existing golf course. The evaluation of the proposed reservoir area revealed only modern features; a backfilled pond (F1007), a drain trench (F1004) and a ditch (F1002). |
