Abstract:		 In November 2007 NAU Archaeology undertook a single trench evaluation on a plot of land at the rear of 1-3 Market Hill, Saffron Walden. The work was undertaken in the historic centre of the town, close to the present market. Five relatively large pits were uncovered within the trench which dated to the post-medieval period. All of the pits were probably chalk quarry pits, perhaps used during the 16th-18th centuries. Four small probable post-holes were found on the site, although they appeared to form no coherent pattern and some of them truncated the fills of the quarry pits. The lack of any medieval pottery may indicate that the entire area had been truncated prior to the post-medieval development of the area. Following the evaluation a watching brief was undertaken during groundworks for the installation of a tower crane and the levelling of an area prior to the construction of a warehouse. A possible ditch, a probable medieval quarry pit and two undated wells were uncovered, amongst other more recent quarry pits. The wells had been capped in the 20th century. A part of the wall of the listed building (1-3 Market Hill) was also recorded during the watching brief.
