Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Pre-construct Archaeology (PCA) at Limebrook Park East, Maldon, CM9 6GG, between the 8th of May and 15th of June 2018. The principal result of the evaluation was the identification of a Late Iron Age to Early Roman agricultural landscape, comprising boundary and drainage ditches forming a part of wider enclosures. This field system was present on the northern and western portions of the site area, located on an area of relatively high ground. The field system ditches were partly aligned on, and appeared to respect a meandering palaeochannel (an earlier, non-canalised iteration of the Lime Brook for which the site is named), which was present running roughly north-north-west to south-south-east near the northern boundary of the site. The stratigraphy, as well as the limited finds assemblages recovered from the palaeochannel indicated it was of a contemporary date to the archaeological features, and would have acted as a significant boundary marker and obstacle in this period. The Late Iron Age to early Roman archaeology is considered likely to directly relate to that identified c.200m to the north, at the 'Safeways' site, where a settlement with an associated field system was established in the Late Iron Age and continued into the Roman period. |
