Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in two phases undertaken during April and May 2018 and latterly in December 2018 at Stane Park II, Essex Yeomary Way, Stanway, Essex. Thirty-five trenches were excavated in Phase 1 with twenty -three trenches being excavated in Phase 2. Evidence for a post-medieval field system correlate with maps dating back to 1840 and with cropmarks identified on satellite imagery. In Phase 1 five lengths of undated ditches were exposed across the southern half of site. Four of these crossed trenches on a similar alignment to the post-medieval field system and likely represent further field boundaries. A single small ditch close to the southern boundary of the site diverged from this alignment, its sterile fill and lack of any artefacts suggest that this is likely a field boundary or enclosure related to agriculture. In Phase 2, a shallow gully and a small pit were recorded in trench 38, both features remain undated and probably relate to agricultural activities on site. |
