Abstract: |
The aim of the archaeological monitoring was to identify, excavate and record any archaeological contexts revealed during groundworks. Between the 15th and 26th April 2021, a CAT archaeologist observed the excavation of trenching to accommodate the new fibre optic broadband cable. The trenching was approximately 3.75 km long, 0.15m wide and 0.4-0.5m deep. Archaeological monitoring was carried out on land at Woodside Green, Great Hallingbury, Essex during the excavation of a fibre optic broadband cable trench. Woodside Green forms part of a historic landscape which also consists of a number of areas of ancient woodland, and is lined with numerous listed buildings, a number of which are to be recipients of the broadband cable. Despite lying in an archaeologically-sensitive area, no features were uncovered, although for most of its length the cable trench did not penetrate beyond modern and post-medieval layers. Artefacts dating to the Roman, medieval, post-medieval and modern periods were recovered, evidencing activity at the site across these periods. |
