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 3: Test pit three was excavated to a depth of 0.7m. Natural was not found, but due to time constraints, excavations were halted at this level and the test pit was recorded and backfilled. Possible worked flint and four pieces of burnt stone were also excavated from CLV/16/3 and are likely to be later prehistoric in date, although analysis by a lithics specialist would be needed to confirm this. <1> See also: <2>
