Description
The archaeological evaluation undertaken at the EEV site, Gate Street, Maldon, took the form of five test-pits, excavated by machine. The test-pits were intended to locate the line of the Late Saxon burh ditch (TP4, EHER 7766) and identify any evidence of occupation either inside (TP1-3) or outside this enclosure (TP5). A further objective of the exercise was to assess the degree of disturbance caused by the levelling of the site in the last century and its use as an industrial complex.
NRHE data transfer:
Five trial pits & trenches excavated along the line of the late Saxon burh. Finds to go to Colchester Museum.
