Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief by Mick Miles of Compass Archaeology was undertaken on land to the rear of 118a High Street, Ingatestone, between 31st March and 1st April 2011. The site lies on the north-western side of the High Street, bounded to the south-west by properties that front Norton Road at NGR: TQ 64863 99554 (Site centre) and is to the rear of a range (Nos. 112-118) of 17th century Grade II listed buildings that front the High Street. A planning application BRW/262/09 for residential was submitted to Brentwood Borough Council on 22/04/2009. As a result of this a watching brief was required for part of the site. The watching brief of the footprint of the new build covered an area of 12m north to south by 18m east to west and a small additional test pit. It was apparent that the topsoil and subsoil strata within the footprint of the building had been previously truncated. However, a sequence for the removed levels survived in a small area at the northwest corner of the trench and was recorded in section. It would appear that there had originally been up to 0.60 metres of mid greyish brown sandy clay topsoil overlying a mid greyish brown sandy clay subsoil up to 0.30 metres deep. Within the footprint this had been replaced with a layer of grey sandy clay and rubble between 0.30-0.40 metres deep overlying the mid reddish yellow clay natural. The top of the natural clay was exposed at a general height of circa +19m to +20m OD, but no archaeological features were observed and no finds were recovered from this watching brief. |
