Abstract: |
In May Archaeological Solutions carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Scott and Albyn Farm, South Hornchurch, Essex, (centred on NGR TQ 529 837). The archaeological works were carried out to provide further information in advance of the determination of a planning application for a land form project. Six of the evaluation trenches contained no archaeological features or finds (Trenches 1, 8-10, and 16 - 17). The highest density of features (up to 10 features per trench) were located in the south-eastern sector of site (Trenches 6 (10), 13 (8), 14 (6), 15 (11) and 18 (10)). The earliest finds found during the evaluation were sparse struck flint. Three features contained Late Iron Age pottery and these features were located in Trenches 6 (Ditches F1033 and F1037, and Pit F1023). Pit F1023 and Ditch F1037 contained just three sherds of pottery each, but Ditch F1033 contained 38 sherds and also small quantities of burnt flint, struck flint and fired clay. Eight features contained Mid - Late 1st Century AD pottery, and these features were located in Trenches 6 (Ditch F1029 and Pit F1035), 15 (Gully F1075, Gully F1083 and Ditch F1086) and 18 (Ditches 1047 and F1049, and Gully F1051). Ditch F1029 and Pit F1035 (both Tr.6) and Ditch F1086 (Tr.15) contained 3-6 sherds of pottery but the other features contained larger quantities: Ditch F1049 (14 sherds), Ditch F1083 (23 sherds), Ditch F1047 (78 sherds), Gully F1075 (250 sherds) and Gully F1051 (348 sherds). Fired clay was also present within the assemblages and Ditch F1049 (Tr.18) contained the fragment of a loom weight. Post-medieval and modern (18th-20th century) ditches were recorded (F1014 (Tr.4), F1027 (Tr.6) and F1138 (Tr.20)), and also modern quarry pits (F1102 (Tr.15), F1124 (Tr.13) and F1141 (Tr.5). The development is a land formation project (fill) and therefore the archaeology will be preserved in situ. |
