Abstract: |
In November and December 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Thremhall Park, Start Hill, Dunmow Road, Great Hallingbury, Essex (NGR TL 53083 21484). The evaluation was commissioned by Mantle and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of four buildings to provide offices with a café, gym and function room together and the provision of new hard surfaced parking. Archaeological features were recorded within each trench. The features were principally ditches and gullies. Pits, post holes and a tree hollow were also present. The principal feature recorded was Trackway F4049 which was present in Trenches 3, 4, 5, 7 and 11. It was undated but its location just below Topsoil L4000 in Trench 4 suggests a post-medieval or relatively recent date. In both Trenches 7 and 11 suggestions of an earlier phase of trackway were recorded (F4047 (Trench 7) and F4053 (Trenches 7 and 11). F4047 L4048 produced a residual sherd of medieval (11th - 13th century pottery), and post-medieval / modern (18th - 19th century) CBM (77g). F4053 L4054 contained medieval (late 12th - mid 14th century) pottery (9; 237g) and late medieval (late 15th - 16th century) CBM (308g). Trackway F4049 overlay Layer L4065 which contained late 12th - 13th/14th century pottery (4; 144g). The majority of the recorded features contained late post-medieval / modern (18th - 19th century) finds, principally CBM. Medieval pottery was recovered from the earlier ?trackways (F4047 and F4053 Trench 7) and Ditch F4059 (Trench 5) but its association with later CBM suggests the pottery is residual. One discrete feature, Ditch F4010 (Trench 9) contained only medieval (12th - mid 14th century) pottery but this was just one sherd and so does not definitively date the feature. |
