Abstract: |
In June 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Hydes Solar Farm, Little Bardfield, Essex (TL 6501 2948). The evaluation was commissioned by Lightsource Renewable Energy Ltd and conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission to construct a solar farm (Uttlesford District Council Planning Ref. UTT/13/2207/FUL), based on the advise of Essex County Council Historic Environment Advisor (ECC HEA). There was a good correlation between the geophysical data and the archaeological features. The evaluation trench revealed three ditches. Ditch F1004 contained medieval (13th - 14th century) pottery, and also residual abraded fragments of Roman CBM, probably derived from tegula roof tile. Though it contained no finds Ditch F1006 was cut by Ditch F1004, and therefore is dated to the medieval period or earlier. Ditch F1002 is undated. F1004 and F1006 appear to be part of a medieval field system. The differences in alignment of these ditches to F1002 indicate that it is unlikely that they formed part of the same field system. |
