Abstract: |
In June, September and October 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological excavation to the rear of the Institute Hall, 78 High Street, Kelvedon, Essex (NGR TL 8605 1844). The excavation was carried out in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval to construct a new studio building/meeting room (Braintree District Council Planning Ref. 13/00059/FUL), based on the advice of the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (HEA ECC). The site lies on the south-eastern side of the High Street, within the historic core of Kelvedon, on the gravel terrace of the Blackwater. The evaluation (Crank 2002) recorded Iron Age archaeology: a late Iron Age curvilinear ditch (F1001; Trench 1); an urned cremation (F1005; Trench 2) contained within a vessel of middle Iron Age date; and Iron Age pottery sherds were found within the subsoil of both trenches. The site therefore had a potential for evidence of Iron Age, Roman and later activity (the latter associated with the back plots of the medieval and post-medieval settlement). The excavation recorded a residual Late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age flint core within post-medieval Ditch F1011, and the ditch also contained residual Roman and early medieval pottery. Perhaps surprisingly, five early Saxon sherds derived from a globular jar were found within Pit F1009. Within this small site, multi-period remains albeit smallcale, have been recorded. |
