Abstract: |
This site is within the historic medieval core of Maldon, and 80m to the east of the site traditionally identified as the 9th-century burh. An evaluation by two trial trenches on a site rear of High Street and Fambridge Road has revealed areas of clay and gravel cut by post-medieval and modern pits. The gravel is identified as a metalled yard. The clay may have been the floor of a previously unidentified late medieval or early post-medieval structure, or may have been demolition debris resulting from repairs to or demolition of adjacent properties. The absence of Anglo-Saxon pottery may reflect an absence of occupation in that period. However, it is possible that Anglo-Saxon settlement was focussed on the street frontages to the north and west of the trench positions. No certain medieval features were revealed by this evaluation. However, a quantity of residual medieval pottery was found in later features. This is probably the result of domestic rubbish being dumped into back gardens of medieval properties on the street frontages. |
