An Archaeological Evaluation by Trial-Trenching at the Great Notley ‘Hungry Horse’ Site (Skyline 120 Business Park), Queenborough Lane, Braintree, Essex An archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching at the Great Notley ‘Hungry Horse’ site (Skyline 120 Business Park), Queenborough Lane, Braintree, Essex report prepared by Adam Wightman on behalf of BAQUS Fletcher McNeill Construction Consultancy CAT project ref.: 12/06e Braintree Museum accession code: pending HEM site code: GNSB12 NGR: TL 7400 2176 (c) Colchester Archaeological Trust Roman Circus House, Off Circular Road North, Colchester, Essex CO2 7GZ tel.: 07436273304 email: [email protected] CAT Report 655 July 2012 CAT Report 655: An archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching at the Great Notley ‘Hungry Horse’ site (Skyline 120 Business Park), Queenborough Lane, Braintree, Essex: July 2012 An archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching at the Great Notley ‘Hungry Horse’ site (Skyline 120 Business Park), Queenborough Lane, Braintree, Essex This is the summary report on the archaeological evaluation by trial- trenching carried out by the Colchester Archaeological Trust (CAT) on land off of Queenborough Road (Skyline 120 Business Park), Great Notley, Braintree, Essex (NGR TL 7400 2176 (c); Fig 1). The proposed development comprises the erection of a ‘Hungry Horse’ establishment on a 0.6ha plot of land located between the A120 and A131 (Fig 1). The site is located 450m east of a Late Iron Age farmstead that was expanded in the later 1st or early 2nd century AD and continued in use into the 2nd century (CAT Reports 337 & 367) (Fig 2). For more information on the historical background of the area and details of other archaeological work undertaken in the vicinity, see the Essex County Council brief (HEM 2012) and the Written Scheme of Investigation (CAT 2012), which are appended to this report. Five 1.8m wide trial-trenches totalling 140m in length (a 4% sample) were excavated. Trenches 1-4 (T1-T4) were 30m long and Trench 5 (T5) was 20m long (Fig 2). The trenches were excavated under archaeological supervision using a tracked excavator equipped with a toothless ditching bucket. The development site was covered in a grey/brown clayey-silt topsoil (L1) (the depth of the deposits encountered in each trench are recorded in Table 1). L1 overlaid a layer of redeposited topsoil (L4) in T3, T4 and T5 and the remnants of a layer of geotextile material in T1 and T2. It is probable that both of the topsoil layers (L1 and L4) were deposited on the site following, or during, the construction of the new roads which surround the site. In T1 and T2, the redeposited topsoil layer (L4) overlay a layer of coarse yellow sand (L5) (Plates 1 & 2). It is probable, based on the increased depth of the natural clay across the site from west to east, that these modern soil and sand layers were spread over the western half of the plot to make the site level. Beneath the modern layers, a medium brown clayey-silt ploughsoil (L2) directly overlay the orange natural clay (L3) (Plates 3 & 4). L2 was homogeneous and contained relatively few inclusions or finds. Two worked flints were recovered from L2 in T3 (a secondary flake with a retouched notch and a tertiary soft hammer flake) and from L2 in T1 (a thick primary flake and a broken secondary flake). Table 1: average depth of deposits in each of the five trenches. Trench L1 L2 L4 L5 Depth of L3 1 200mm 210mm 100mm 170mm 680mm 2 150mm 250mm 170mm 130mm 700mm 3 130mm 180mm 150mm 460mm 4 120mm 200mm 320mm 5 120mm 180mm 300mm Three features (F1-F3) were identified during the evaluation (Fig 2): a modern service trench or ditch which contained tarmac and geotextile sheeting (F1), a shallow area of disturbance which contained an iron post and a plastic bag (F2), and a shallow linear terminal containing a small fragment of flower pot (F3) (Fig 2). The recovery of worked flints from the ploughsoil suggests some activity in the area during the later prehistoric period. The absence of any Late Iron Age/Roman features or finds indicates minimal activity associated with the farmstead to the south-west. It is possible that this area may have been heathland during this period as has been suggested for adjacent areas (CAT Reports 337 & 433). 1 CAT Report 655: An archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching at the Great Notley ‘Hungry Horse’ site (Skyline 120 Business Park), Queenborough Lane, Braintree, Essex: July 2012 Plate 1: Trench 1, view south.

The site (0.63ha) is located 450m east of a farmstead originating in the Late Iron Age that was expanded in the later 1st or early 2nd century AD and continued in use into the 2nd century AD. The site was evaluated by excavating five trial-trenches totalling 140m in length. As a result, three modern features were recorded and four prehistoric worked flints were recovered. The absence of any Late Iron Age/Roman features or finds indicates minimal activity associated with the farmstead to the south-west. It is possible that this area may have been heathland during this period as has been suggested for adjacent areas (CAT Reports 337 & 433).

These are settlements based on the ethos of ‘Garden Cities’ promoted by the Town and Country Planning Association (https://www.tcpa.org.uk/garden-city-principles) and Government but tailored to the needs and character of North Essex. AECOM has undertaken a detailed baseline review and multi-criteria analysis of various options, identifying three broad locations at West of Braintree, Marks Tey and East of Colchester in Tendring District for further master planning (https://www.braintree.gov.uk/info/200130/about_braintree_district/992/north_essex_garden_communities). These locations are considered to be the most sustainable option for the future development of Garden Communities in North Essex and provide a major opportunity for high quality, cohesive and distinctive mixed use development.
