Type and Period

Description

Traces of a ditch visible before the houses were built. <1> <2> Nothing visible on aerial photographs. <1> A map in the HER shows the apparent length of the ditch as being under the pavement in front of 112-116 Maldon Road, at TQ 94769678, but no source is given. <3> NRHE data transfer: Ditch visible before houses were built. (Nothing visible on air photographs). <4> <5> Note: the location of this feature is unclear. It was previously mapped centred on TQ 94665 96785, as a polygon bound by Maldon Road to the North, King Edward Avenue to the West, and extending South to 1 King Edward Avenue to the SW and 103c Maldon Road to the SE. It also included two points at TQ 94665 96785, on 1a King Edward Avenue and 80m to its East - it is unclear what these represented. The NRHE places the feature at TQ 94610 96770. The monument has been remapped in the location suggested by the comments attached to <3>, but the accuracy of this location cannot be verified. The new polygon has been devised using the boundary line of properties 112-116 Maldon Road and extended to the South to include the pavement. This location has been approximated.
