Archaeological evaluation of three trial-trenches carried out as per the archaeological brief, scheduled monument consent (no. S00240340) and WSI. An archaeological evaluation (three trial-trenches) was carried out at Porters Hall, Porters Hall Road, Stebbing, Essex in advance of the construction of a new driveway, associated parking and loading area. The site lies within the boundary of the scheduled Porters Hall moated site and in an area containing numerous listed buildings dating from the 15th to the 17th century. No archaeological remains were encountered during the evaluation but, as excavation ceased at formation level and natural was not exposed, archaeological deposits may still be preserved on the site.
