Description
The second season of fieldwalking in advance of major (186 ha) residential and business development concentrated on the central and northern parts of the area around Panners Farm and Cuckoo Wood, and up to the southern edge of the new Braintree By-pass (A120). Only two potential archaeological sites were identified - both above-average concentrations of burnt flint, presumably prehistoric. A 40 x 30 m area was cleared over one concentration (TL 7319 2070). However, despite loose finds of struck flints, burnt flints and a single flint-gritted prehistoric sherd, no subsoil features were encountered other than two land drains. The second area, at TL 7358 2102, has yet to be tested.
