The aim of the archaeological evaluation was to record the extent of any surviving archaeological deposits, and to assess the archaeological potential of the site to allow the ECCHEA to determine if further investigation is required. Five trial-trenches were machine-excavated under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist. All trenches were 20m long by 1.8m wide, unless stated below. A full context list can be found in Appendix 1. An archaeological evaluation (five trial-trenches) was carried out on land at Watch House Green, Felsted, Essex, in advance of the construction of four new dwellings. The site is located east of a 17th-century timber-framed house (The Watch House) and to the southeast of a 16thcentury timber-framed barn. Nearby evaluation works have uncovered features dating from the Roman, medieval and post-medieval period. In total twelve cut features (eleven ditches and one post-hole) and a metalled surface were identified in this evaluation. The predominant phase of activity present was from the Roman period, except three ditches and post-hole that were post-medieval or later in date.
