Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out on land adjacent to Endway Farm, Southminster Road, Asheldham, Southminster, Essex, in advance of the construction of a new dwelling. The site lies just to the north of Asheldham Camp, a univallate Iron Age hillfort, and in the midst of cropmarks indicating the presence of ring ditches and linear features. Excavations revealed two pits and a ditch dating to the Late Bronze Age, a pit dating to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, and a ditch dating to the Early Iron Age at the latest. Previous excavations of Asheldham Camp indicated that the site had witnessed a phase of activity prior to the construction of the hillfort. The present investigation provides further evidence of an earlier phase of activity here. |
