19th century pits and fence line at land at Premier Garage, High Street, Newport (EHER 81706)
Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The evaluation recorded made ground layers. A line of post holes along the street frontage, possibly a fence line, were dated to the modern (19th to 20th century) period. Three pits were undated or 19th century. The results suggest that the site was undeveloped, and largely unused, until the construction of the large structure shown on the 1897 OS map.
