Abstract: |
This report describes the results of a two-trench archaeological evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at rear of 17-21 Crescent Road, Heybridge, Essex (NGR TL 8504 0826) on 27th and 28th April 2014. The archaeological work was commissioned in response to a planning condition attached to commercial development. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the site. This evaluation identified Roman and Post Medieval quarry pitting extracting sands and gravel ballast which formed the natural river terraces. Also while not identifying features of Prehistoric data there where two artifacts (a piece of pottery and a struck flint) residually deposited within later feature which indicate Prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the area. The results of the fieldwork enhance understanding of the Roman and Post Medieval land utilization of this part of Heybridge, while spotlighting the potential of Prehistoric activity within the area. |
