Type and Period
Description
March 2018. Trial trenching.
Only one archaeological feature was found on the site. This was a ditch that was filled in no earlier than the mid to late 17th century. This ditch lay on a broadly east-west alignment and may have formed a minor field boundary or drainage ditch. The absence of any other archaeological features on the site suggests that the area of the site had not been developed prior to its current use as a recreation ground. Before the late 19th to early 20th century growth of Chadwell St Mary the area of the site would likely have been agricultural land. <1>
