Abstract: |
In September and October 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out archaeological monitoring and recording at Helpestons Manor, Hollow Road, Felsted, Essex (NGR TL 70741 20152; Figs. 1 - 2). The monitoring was carried out on the advice of the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council. It was undertaken in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval to extend and alter the current dwelling, convert the listed barn to domestic use and erect a link extension between barn and dwelling, erect a garden shed and a cartlodge (Uttlesford Planning Ref. UTT/12/5539/FUL). The site is located within the historic farm complex of Helpestons Manor on the northern side of Hollow Road between Thistley Green and Molehill Green near Felsted. One of the buildings within the complex to the NW of the main house is listed (16th century possible granary) and the complex is surrounded by a moat. The Essex Historic Environment Record notes that the proposed development area is within a moated enclosure (EHER 6271). Such moated enclosures in the region are often of medieval date, and Helpstons is recorded in 1327 and 1367. The moated enclosure survives as a moat, ponds and drainage ditches. The 19th century 1st edition OS map shows a number of now demolished buildings on the site. The monitoring revealed a modern soakaway (F1004), visible in Section 11, modern current and previous paths, and made ground. |
