Description
January 2017. Trial trenching.
Evaluation on land to the rear of Swan View revealed part of the remains of Hatfield Villa, consisting of two brick wall foundations and a brick floor of 19th-20th century date. The property was in existence by 1874 and the bricks indicate a construction date of the early to mid 19th century. Chapman and André's 1777 Map of Essex shows earlier structures on the development site, although no evidence was discovered during the evaluation. A small quantity of post-medieval and modern domestic and construction waste was also found.
