Description
Thirty-one trenches excavated in two phases of evaluation. Four machine trenches were excavated in stage two.
An area of later prehistoric activity (probably Late Bronze/Early Iron Age) was identified close to the River Chelmer, whilst on the high ground an area of earlier Roman (late 1st/2nd centuries) features related to known cropmarks were recorded. In both areas the finds and features appear to relate to settlement rather than agricultural activity. Archive and finds to be deposited with Chelmsford and Essex Museum, accession no: 1996:213. Project funded by Taywood Homes Ltd. NMR Microfilm Index PRNs: 7441,8077.
