A single L-shaped trench, measuring 20m long and 1.8m wide, was machine excavated under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist. Archaeological evaluation was carried out at Seattle Cottage, Fyfield Road, Willingale, Essex in advance of the construction of a single dwelling. The development is located on the site of a medieval rectory associated with the Church of St Andrew to the north. A pit, a ditch and three post-holes were identified in the evaluation. The pit and ditch were dated to the medieval period and were probably associated with the rectory. The post-holes were post-medieval/modern in date.
