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. Two trial-trenches, each measuring 10m long by 1.8m wide, and arranged to form a T-shaped trench, were machine-excavated under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist. An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out on land adjacent to Endway Farm, Southminster Road, Asheldham, Southminster, Essex, in advance of the construction of a new dwelling. The site lies just to the north of Asheldham Camp, a univallate Iron Age hillfort, and in the midst of cropmarks indicating the presence of ring ditches and linear features. Excavations revealed two pits and a ditch dating to the Late Bronze Age, a pit dating to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, and a ditch dating to the Early Iron Age at the latest. Previous excavations of Asheldham Camp indicated that the site had witnessed a phase of activity prior to the construction of the hillfort. The present investigation provides further evidence of an earlier phase of activity here.
