Abstract: |
In June 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at The Crump, Brickhouse Lane, Berden, Essex CM23 1AZ (NGR TL 46946 28988). It is proposed to change the use of agricultural land to grazing and erect a new stable block with new access drive. The evaluation was carried out in compliance with a planning condition of Uttlesford District Council, as advised by the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (Planning Ref. UTT/15/2983/FUL). The site lies within an area of archaeological potential as highlighted on the Essex Historic Environment Record (EHER). The medieval ringwork of The Crump lies immediately adjacent to the south. This is Scheduled as an Ancient Monument (SM 20665). It comprises a mound and ditch earthwork to the rear of the property of The Crump, with no obvious causeway access across the ditch into the area of the inner mound. It has been subject to a partial excavation by the site owner which revealed quantities of 12th century pottery suggesting the earthwork is of medieval date. One of the evaluation trenches contained features (Trench 1), and the features were linears (Ditches F1005 and F1007, and Gully F1009). Ditch F1007 contained a fragment of modern CBM and the other features contained no finds. No direct association with the medieval ringwork was evident. |
