Description
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken across the grounds of Priory Hall, formerly the Halstead Grammar School, prior to its redevelopment to a mixture of residential housing elderly care facilities. The site sloped steeply down from the north-east to the south-west and displayed evidence of previous landscaping. The two historic school buildings that occupy the site were also subject to a standing building recording survey and are reported upon separately. The evaluation identified no significant archaeological activity.
