Abstract: |
In July 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land adjacent to Duggers Lane, Braintree, Essex CM7 1BA (NGR TL 7660 2231; Figs. 1-2). The evaluation was commissioned by Alexander Sedgley on behalf of Westgate Healthcare Ltd and undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a 32-bed residential care home with associated landscaping and car parking facilities. The southern part of the site will be retained as an ecological area (Planning Ref. BTE/00532/11). The site was considered to have a potential for archaeological remains with Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman remains in the immediate vicinity. It also had the potential for a water mill to be present at the southern apex of the site and alluvial deposits with the possibility of preserved organic material along the eastern side of the site. In the event the area investigated was found to have been heavily disturbed during the later part of the 20th century, with each trench revealing small building foundations and rubbish dumps. The area where the suggested watermill might be located was not investigated as it will not be affected by the proposed development, and the alluvial deposits along the eastern side of the site were also not encountered. |
