2016. Test pitting. A test pit survey throughout Clavering following the main high street, Pelham Road, totalling 12 excavation pits to establish where the localised Bronze Age, medieval, and post-medieval activity was through finds retrieved. Test Pit 9: A single sherd of medieval Hedingham Ware and three sherds of post-medieval Glazed Red Earthenware were recovered from the test pit. An additional seven sherds of Victorian wares were also identified. Limited medieval, post-medieval, and 19th century pottery sherds were also identified with a small amount of finds, it is probable that this site has always remained open, with little in the way of disturbance when the primary school was built. The finds excavated consist of tile, CBM, possible burnt daub fragments, glass, iron nails, slag and coal, many of which may have been used for manuring. <1> See: <2>
