Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation at Tilkey Road, Coggeshall, Braintree, February 2018

This collection comprises image, text and CAD data from an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching at land east of Tilkey Road, Coggeshall, Braintree, Essex CO6 1QN. The work was undertaken by Colchester Archaeological Trust in February 2018. The archaeological evaluation was primarily undertaken at this site to investigate a number of kilns which reportedly existed at this site during the medieval and post-medieval periods, and to determine the relation of the site to the series of cropmarks located in the surrounding area. Evaluation revealed a Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age ditch terminus, a posthole, ditch and pit dated to the Middle Iron Age, a pit and a ditch of medieval date and a post-medieval ditch. No evidence of tile and brick manufacture was uncovered, but it is possible that the ditch features are associated with the cropmark complex which exists within the area.
