Three trial-trenches were machine-excavated under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist. T1 consisted of two 10m long trenches arranged in a T-shape, T2 was 20m long and T3 25m long. All trenches were 1.8m wide. A full context list can be found in Appendix 1. The trenches were excavated through three layers. Modern topsoil (L1, c 0.14-0.21 thick) sealed subsoil (L2, c 0.10-0.25m thick) beneath which lay natural (L3, encountered at a depth of c 0.28-0.45m below current ground level). An archaeological evaluation of three trenches was carried out on land at Maldon Wycke, Spital Road, Maldon, Essex, in advance of the construction of three new dwellings. The site was located to the south-east of the historic town of Maldon and within a farmstead that has origins in the medieval period. Despite the sites location only two pits were recorded, one medieval/post-medieval in date and one 18th-19th century in date.
