Evaluation was carried out as per the brief and the WSI. An archaeological evaluation (three trial-trenches) was carried out on land to the rear of Debden Barns, Wimbish, Essex in advance of the construction of a new dwelling. The development site is located next to a property containing a possible moat which likely has its origins in the medieval period, and lies near a historic RAF airfield and in the midst of a number of Second World War era defensive structures. Despite lying in an archaeologically-sensitive area, however, no archaeological remains were encountered.
