Abstract: |
In June 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land on land at the former Elsenham Nurseries, Stansted Road, Elsenham, Essex (NGR TL 52990 26205). It is proposed to construct 40 new dwellings. The evaluation was carried out in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval (Uttlesford Council Planning Ref. UTT/14/2991/OP), based on the advice of the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (ECC HEA) The evaluation revealed linear features, ditches, located in the southern sector of the site. The ditches were traceable from trench to trench (F1016 (Trenches 7 and 10); F1014 (Trenches 11 and 15); F1011 and F1007 (Trenches 11 and 14). Ditches F1016 and F1018 (Trenches 7 and 10) were undated. Ditches F1007, F1009 and F1011 contained 18th - 19th century pottery and modern glass. Ditch F1014 (Trench 15) contained a sherd of moderately abraded Roman pottery. The latter find is insufficient to date the feature and may represent a residual sherd. |
