Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake an archaeological evaluation at land south of Stansted Road, Elsenham, Essex, CM22 6LL. The site is currently farmland divided into three fields, all of which were ploughed. A total of forty 30m-long trenches were excavated by machine down to the natural deposits at between 0.2 and 0.5m below ground level. Archaeological features were recorded in four of the trenches. Trench 16 contained an undated shallow pit, a post-medieval field boundary ditch was excavated in Trench 25, an undated linear feature was found in Trench 30 and Trench 36 yielded two possibly prehistoric pits. The report concludes that the limited nature of the archaeology recorded across the whole area indicates a low potential for the presence of features from any period. |
