Abstract: |
Between 27th June and 1st July 2016 Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Thorpe Lea, Walden Road, to the south-east of the Roman town of Great Chesterford in Essex. Eleven trenches totalling just under 280m were opened and these revealed a series of ditches on a similar north-west to south-east alignment dating from the Mid to Late Roman period. The majority of features were located towards the south-western corner of the site, within Trenches 1 and 3, and may represent boundary or possibly road-side ditches. A further shallow ditch or gully on a similar alignment was recorded in three trenches (5, 6 and 7) located towards the centre of the site, and is notable as it contained a moderately large quantity of animal bone. Four small worked flints of probable Early Neolithic date were also recovered as residual elements in Roman ditches and subsoil contexts. |
