Late Saxon to medieval building remains and occupation activity, 148-152 High Street (EHER 49871)

A archaeological excavation in 1999 recorded 10th-11th century and 13th-14th century timber buildings, as well as three phases of medieval pits with material from the 12th to mid 16th centuries.

January-February 1999. Trial trenching and archaeological excavation. Excavations at the former Bus Station site have provided further evidence for the development of Maldon in the Late Saxon and medieval periods. Remnants of timber buildings broadly dating to the 10th-11th century were recorded and represent Late Saxon occupation at the eastern end of the High Street. The partial remains of further timber buildings dating to the 13th-14th centuries were also present, along with three phases of medieval pits towards the rear of the site, dating to the 12th to mid-13th century, the later 13th to 14th century and the 15th to mid 16th century respectively. <1> <2> One photo of an excavation site. <3> January-February 1999.
