Abstract: |
In January 2014 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Mill Road, Wimbish, Essex CB10 2XD (NGR TL 589 352). It is proposed to construct a new affordable and open market residential development 11 properties. The evaluation was carried out in compliance with an anticipated planning condition of Uttlesford District Council, as advised by the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (Planning Ref. UTT/14/1688/FUL). The site lies in an area of archaeological potential recorded on the Essex Historic Environment Record (EHER). This relates to the presence of a former corn mill immediately adjacent to the site (EHER 251). The mill is depicted on historic cartographic sources at least as far back as the 1777 Chapman and Andre map. The site also retains a potential for medieval settlement to have been present around the mill, as has been found elsewhere in Uttlesford and Essex generally. One such example at Stansted airport dated back to the 13th century. The area surrounding Wimbish has also been identified as having a high potential for archaeological remains in the Historic Characterisation Document for Uttlesford. In the event the evaluation revealed no archaeological features or finds. |
