Abstract:		 An excavation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay within the Roman and early medieval settlements of Kelvedon. Iron Age settlement had been recorded in the area, and the proposal site was thought to have lain in the vicinity of a Roman industrial zone. Evaluation of the site had revealed features dating from the Iron Age/Romano-British and medieval/post-medieval periods. During the excavation, evidence for several periods of activity was recorded. This included prehistoric flintwork, a Late Iron Age ditch, an early Roman track, gravel quarry pit and boundary ditches, and 1st/2nd century dumping of domestic and industrial waste. A 2nd century pit or grave containing fragments of human bone was also recorded. During the 2nd century AD, industrial/domestic activity had occurred. The site had been levelled and hard surfaces formed by the dumping of sand and gravel. The abandonment of the town was indicated by a soil deposit of 3rd-4th century date, which had developed over earlier features. Post-Roman and medieval activity was indicated only by the occurrence of sparse sherds of pottery. A post-medieval boundary gully, pits and post-holes were recorded which may have related to a malt house known to have existed at the site, or to earlier activity. [Au(adp)]
