Trial trenching by ECC Field Archaeology Unit at the site of a proposed primary school, Holst Avenue, Witham, 2009 - EEX55565

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on the site of a proposed new primary school at Holst Avenue, Witham. The site lies within the greater Maltings Lane development site, a large housing scheme that has previously been the subject of a range of archaeological investigations, culminating in a series of open-area excavations to the north of the current site, in 2000-2002 (Robertson 2004), that revealed extensive concentrations of Prehistoric, Late Iron Age, Roman, Saxon and Medieval remains. Fifteen trenches were excavated across the proposed school site. NRHE data transfer: Fifteen trenches excavated, recording an Iron Age pit and post-medieval features.
