Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in late spring 2018 by Pre-construct Archaeology on Land Adjacent to Hill Cottage, Wendens Ambo, Essex (NRG TL 51214 36433) in response to an archaeological brief written by Richard Havis of Essex County Council Historic Environment Team (ECCHEM). The proposed development was for the construction of a single residential property with associated driveway and infrastructure. A full archaeological condition was attached to the planning consent due to the high archaeological potential of the proposed development (Planning Reference: UTT/17/2572/FULL). The evaluation identified two parallel ditches, almost certainly former plot boundaries, and a 1.3m width circular pit, all of which were dated to the medieval period and infilled from the later medieval to Post-medieval period. It is possible that the ditches, which appeared contemporary, may have existed either side of a pathway, as a similarly narrow plot is depicted opposite the ditches on the eastern side of Royston Road. A small segment of chalk preparation supporting a narrow stone wall were constructed upon a fully infilled ditch, although the small scale of these structures (wall, 0.30m x 0.20m) suggested that they were garden features, rather than being linked with a post-medieval dwelling. The final infilling of the plot boundaries thereby widening the plot and the construction of the garden features dated to first half of the post-medieval period and ties in with period of Wendens Ambo gentrification, which saw the construction of several large properties across the village
