Description
2003. Trial trenching.
Levelling deposits, possibly of Victorian date, were encountered throughout the site. <1>
2004. Archaeological excavation.
The modern features include two 19th century wells/ soakaways and some rubbish-filled pits. Their presence is not particularly surprising in that this area has a particularly high water table with flooding being noted on many of the sites excavated in the area and is associated with the early modern development of Maldon and London Road. <2>
