Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation of three trial-trenches as per conditions specified in the Project Brief and WSI. Three trial-trenches (11m, 11.5m & 14m long by 1.8m wide) were machine-excavated under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist. Across all of the trenches, modern tarmac (L1, 0.25m thick)
sealed a layer of crushed concrete (L2, 0.35-0.4m thick) which overlay natural clay (L3, at a depth of c 0.45-0.6m below current ground level). An archaeological evaluation (three trial-trenches) was carried out at Moulsham Grange, Moulsham Street, Chelmsford, Essex in advance of the construction of a residential building. Moulsham Grange is a locally-listed Edwardian villa located in area of Roman remains with both Napoleonic and WWII defensive features nearby. Stratigraphy of the site showed modern concrete sealing natural ground level, and the only archaeological feature present was a 19th-/20th-century pit. |
