Abstract: |
In February 2011 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological monitoring and recording at St Mary's House, Clacton Road, Little Oakley, Essex (NGR TL 509 359). The monitoring was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to a planning approval for improvements to the building (Tendring Planning Reference 10/01224/FUL and 10/01225/LB). Prehistoric flints, Roman tile and pottery, and late medieval pottery have been recovered from within 200m to the south-west (EHER 3327, 3324, 3326, 3329). The property is the Grade II* listed former Church of St Mary, which dates from the early 12th century with later phases of medieval building and has Roman tile incorporated within its fabric (EHER 3304, 3332). It is constructed over an earth platform which showed evidence of an earlier church beneath (EHER 3321). The church was restored in the 19th/20th centuries becoming redundant in 1973. It originally stood in an oval churchyard which was extended to the west. It is now a residential dwelling. The monitoring was carried out during the excavation of a French drain around the building perimeter. It recorded the construction cuts for the east and west walls of the now emolished vestry which once abutted the north wall of the chancel. No artefacts were recovered. |
