Abstract: |
In July 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to The Bungalow, Southminster Road, Asheldham, Essex (TL 97077 01303). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for a single dwelling with associated car parking and services (Maldon District Council Planning ref. FUL/MAL/14/00252), based on the advice of Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council. Commencing approximately 75m to the south-east of the development site is an Iron Age hill-fort, Asheldham Camp, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 1014142). It contains multi-period finds dating from the Neolithic to medieval periods, including a possible Neolithic settlement and Belgic/early Roman cemetery (EHER 12051-60, 12128-30). It is probable that the hill-fort was reoccupied in the late Saxon period. It was heavily quarried in the 1930s. Approximately 200m to the west of the proposed development are cropmarks of an undated probable ring ditch and other linear features (EHER 16003). Four possible ring ditches are located 370m north-east of the development site (EHER 12185). Nearby were a group of ditches and pits which produced Neolithic and particularly early Iron Age pottery (EHER 12185). In the event no archaeological features or finds were present. |
