A CAT archaeologist observed the reduction of an area measuring 68.3m� to accommodate the new building. An archaeologist monitored the groundworks until they reached the natural geological horizon, some 0.45m below current ground level (bcgl). Footings for the new building were to be subsequently dug into the natural. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at Little Jenkins, Jenkins Lane, Great Hallingbury, Essex during groundworks for a two-storey showroom and storage building with offices above. In spite of being located in an archaeologically-sensitive area, no archaeological deposits or material were encountered.
