Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) carried out as per the conditions laid out in the Brief and WSI An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out at Hall Meadows, Hall Road, Asheldham, Essex in advance of the construction of a new dwelling. Located within an area of known cropmarks and surrounded by prehistoric, Roman and Anglo-Saxon remains, the development site is also located close to the 17th-century Asheldham Hall. Excavation revealed two ditches, two post-holes, a pit/tree-throw and 11 tree-throws. One of the ditches produced a piece of peg-tile and could be a field boundary ditch. A piece of Roman imbrex was also recovered from the pit/tree-throw. Small sherds of pottery and two pieces of worked flint from five of the tree-throws provides evidence for prehistoric occupation on or close to the development site. |
