Abstract: |
In September 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at 30-30A Orchard Street, Chelmsford, Essex (NGR TL 7082 0626; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was carried out in compliance with the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for a proposed new building to comprise two flats with associated access, bin/cycle stores and parking (Chelmsford Council Planning Ref. 16/00436/FUL). The evaluation was required based on the advice of the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (ECC HEA). The evaluation revealed several modern made ground deposits which overlay modern (19th + century) features: Ditches F1005 and F1007, Post Hole F1015, Brick Wall S1041 and a cobbled surface (L1009). The latter was exposed for a length of 7m. Below the modern features a medieval pit (F1044) and Roman archaeology was revealed. The latter comprised four ditches (F1010, F1017, F1034 and F1036); Gullies F1028 and F1032; three large pits (F1019, F1024 and F1038); Post Holes F1030 and F1042 and a possible Surface F1022. The pottery derived from the features is mid 1st to mid 2nd century AD pottery, and Pit F1024 contained the largest assemblage of 111 sherds (1525g). |
