Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Central Piling, Colchester Road, Halstead, Essex, in advance of residential development. The evaluation area covered 0.45 hectares and was located adjacent to Colchester Road. Four trial trenches were excavated. No archaeological remains of significance were identified. The few features present were all of modern date and were almost certainly associated with previously demolished later 19th and 20th century buildings. Land in the north-east of the area, the site of a former post-war petrol station, had clearly been truncated whilst land in the south had been raised by the addition of modern building rubble and other mixed deposits. Existing truncation around the south-eastern and south-western periphery of the site had resulted from 20th century mineral extraction and subsequent landscaping associated with the construction of the adjacent engineering works. |
