Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out along the Radial Distributor Route (RDR) at Beaulieu, Chelmsford. The fieldwork took place between the 13/08/16 and the 23/09/16. A total of fifty-two trenches were excavated within the proposed development area. In the centre of the RDR route and immediately south of known Tudor brick kilns a gravel surface, two pits and a gully was encountered. These features were interpreted to be part of a working area associated with the kilns. Evidence for a medieval field system on a north-west to south-east co-axial alignment was seen in the southern part of the RDR route (Field 3). Within the same field two undated ditches were encountered on a north-east to south-west alignment. These were spaced 10 metres apart and thought to form a possible trackway. In the southernmost field a series of ditches were recorded all of which are post-medieval or modern in date. |
