Land south of Freshwell Gardens, Saffron Walden Evaluation Report with Images
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In order to characterise the archaeological potential of land south of Freshwell Gardens, Saffron Walden, Essex, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developers to undertake an archaeological field evaluation in advance of a planning application, to satisfy the requirements of the local planning authority. Two archaeological trenches were excavated across the footprints of the proposed new buildings, revealing a waterlain organic layer above the natural in both trenches, which may represent the remains of a marshy area on the edge of the town. Pottery of early medieval date was recovered from this deposit. Evidence of alluvial build up was also noted to the west of the ditch in Trench 1. A substantial ditch, interpreted as the 13th century town ditch, was encountered at the western end of Trench 1, though slightly more to the west than had been projected from other sources. Stratigraphically the ditch cut both the alluvial layers and the organic layer. The ditch itself showed evidence of silting up before being fully infilled with material in the post-medieval period and then sealed by a compact chalk consolidation layer. No evidence for additional defences was encountered during the course of the present project. A smaller linear feature was revealed in Trench 2 which also cut through the dark layer. This linear, which could not be fully investigated, was also orientated north-south, parallel to the medieval ditch.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
