Abstract: |
In June 2008 Archaeology South-East carried out a watching brief on the excavation of a drainage trench to the rear of the Grade II listed barn at Little Moatenden. Two deposits were encountered within the 0.45 m wide by 13.40 m in length L-plan trench which was excavated to a maximum depth of 0.89 m. The lower deposit comprised alluvium and the upper deposit garden soil. The alluvium dipped to the southeast towards the known location of a pond which had been in situ in 1843 but had been back-filled in its entirety by 1897. The upper deposit of garden soil as a consequence reached the maximum depth at the southeastern end of the trench. No archaeological features or remains were encountered. |
