Abstract: |
In November 2019, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of Saggers, Waterloo House, High Street, Newport, Essex, CB11 3PG (NGR TL 52123 33738; Figs.1 and 2). The evaluation was carried out to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to outline approval for the construction of a house and garage (Uttlesford Council Planning Approval Ref. UTT/16/3490/FUL). It was required based on the advice of the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (ECC HEA) to the LPA. The site had potential to reveal further evidence of medieval activity associated with the historic core of Newport. It lies within Newport's conservation area and within an area of archaeological potential. It is situated in the gardens of a Grade II listed 17th century timber framed house. The evaluation revealed two undated pits in Trench 2, neither contained finds. Trench 1 was adjacent to the river and contained alluvium (L1007). Overlying L1007, L1006 may have been a made ground layer deposited to raise the level of the site. Thereafter buried soils and a succession of topsoils were present. |
