Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation of Area A2, Bradwell Quarry, Bradwell-juxta-Coggeshall, Essex preceded mineral extraction and revealed six archaeological sites. These comprised a 1st century AD waterhole and ditches (Site A), 12th and 13th to 15th century peasant holdings (Sites B and C), 12th to 14th century enclosure ditches and quarry pits (Site D), a 12th to 14th century farm (Site E), and a small number of Early to Middle Iron Age pits (Site F). The waterhole contained evidence for high status feating and was probably part of an adjacent (unexcavated) Roman farm or villa. The remains of sites B, C and E included post holes and post trenches of timber buildings and these represented four peasant cottages and an open hall house and its ancillary buildings. |
