Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) undertook an archaeological evaluation at 50, Beeleigh Road, Maldon Essex. The potential for archaeological remains was considered moderate as the site lies immediately to the north of the Saxon burh of Maldon. Historic mapping shows that the site was undeveloped and remains a greenfield site bordering the gardens of housing on Beeleigh Road. Two trenches were excavated by machine down to the natural deposits. Archaeological features were found in both trenches, a late medieval ditch in Trench 1 and a post-medieval pit in Trench 2. The ditch in Trench 1 may reflect an ancient boundary aligned with the route emerging north from the Saxon burh. The report concludes that the limited nature of the archaeology indicates a low potential for archaeological survival across the site. Since the trenches were targeted on areas likely to be disturbed by the planned works it is unlikely that the development will greatly impact further on surviving archaeology. |
