Abstract: |
In June 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Warwick Road, Little Canfield, Essex (TL 57452 21509). The evaluation was commissioned by Mr Clive Hitchcock and conducted in compliance with a planning condition of Uttlesford District Council, as advised by Essex County Council Historic Environment Advisor (ECC HEA), attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of a car park (Planning Ref. UTT/13/3105/FUL. Extensive prehistoric and medieval remains have been identified in the area. A Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age linear ditch and curvilinear ditch were excavated in Area 3 just to the east of the site (Fig. 3a and 3c). This area also contained medieval ditches and pits. The site is also located within, or close to, a medieval strip field system dated mainly to the 12th and 13th centuries, two medieval moated sites are located to the north-west. In the event the evaluation revealed a relatively high number of features. The highest number of features were recorded in Trench 4B at the back of the site. Slightly oddly no features were recorded in Trench 3 which was located in the core of the site. The features were principally linear (ditches and a gully) and also post holes. The latter in Trench 4B were similar (form and fill) and possibly contemporary. The features contained no finds and are undated. It is therefore difficult to relate them to the adjacent archaeology. |
