Late Iron Age and Medieval Remains at Phase 2 Infrastructure at Beaulieu, Chelmsford

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on an area designated as Phase 2 Infrastructure as part of the development of land at Beaulieu, Chelmsford. The fieldwork took place between 26/8/14 and 29/8/14. A total of 12 trenches were excavated within a single field.
The remains that were uncovered were focused at the west end of the evaluation area, and comprised of a series of ditches dating to the Iron Age and Late Iron Age, and may represent part of the field systems used at the time. A later Medieval field system, associated with the New Hall School manorial complex to the north, was present within the western side of the evaluation area.
