Abstract:
The site contains Neolithic henges, Bronze age ring ditches, Iron age broaches and Medieval remains. This investigation has revealed that the prehistoric occupation of this part of the Chelmer Valley was early in origin, extensive, multi-faceted and complex in its development – demonstrating concurrent elements or strands of continuity and change over thousands of years. These remains document the first transitory occupation and exploitation of the landscape, the beginnings of its permanent settlement and farming, and the subsequent development of the rural landscape through to the modern day. This work has also highlighted the difficulty in identifying remains due to the adverse soil conditions and masking of early deposits by alluvium that are encountered in valley floor locations, and serves to emphasise the high archaeological potential of the Chelmer Valley in general.
