Abstract: |
Two trial-trenches were machine-excavated under the supervision of a CAT
archaeologist. They were both 8m long and 1.8m wide. The aim of the archaeological evaluation was to record the extent of any surviving
archaeological deposits, and to assess the archaeological potential of the site to allow the ECCHEA to determine if further investigation is required. An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out at Fantasia House, Bambers Green Road, Essex, in advance of the conversion and extension of the existing cartlodge into an annexe and the construction of a new cartlodge-style double bay garage. Fantasia House is a 17th-century timber-framed house, and the accompanying timber-framed cartlodge dates to the following century. The site also lies to the south of The Grange, another 17th-century timber-framed house set in a medieval moated site, which is a scheduled ancient monument. Despite being situated in an archaeologically-sensitive area, however, no archaeological remains were encountered. |
