Description
Seven 30m-long trial trenches were excavated by Oxford Archaeology East in advance of the construction of a new Anglian Water pipeline, 1.5km long, requiring a stripped easement 10.0m wide (working width 4.5m), between TL 8789 1771 and TL 8890 1659. The works revealed a shallow topsoil onto a clay natural. No archaeological features were found. Trenches 6 and 7 also contained a mixed ballast deposit, containing fragments of ballast, clinker and iron railway fittings such as carriage bolts, the remnants of the Tollesbury to Kelvedon light railway track bed (MCC5246).<1>
