Abstract: |
In January 2020, a programme of archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out on a piece of land to the rear of Tey Road, Earls Colne, Essex prior to the construction of twenty-three dwellings with associated access and open space. Seven archaeologically supervised trenches were excavated within the proposed development area. The evaluation revealed a ditch within Trenches 1 and 2 that was tentatively dated to the prehistoric period, and a posthole within Trench 5 that was tentatively dated to the medieval period. An undated posthole likely to be modern in date and an undated ditch terminus or treethrow were identified within Trench 3, whilst five undated gullies were identified within Trenches 4, 5, 6 and 7 along with undated pits in Trenches 2 and 5. A small assemblage of later prehistoric flint and post-medieval pottery were recovered from the overlying topsoil deposit. |
