Abstract:		 In July 2008 NAU Archaeology carried out excavations at St Mary's Primary School, Great Dunmow, Essex, ahead of the construction of a new classroom at the southern end of the current buildings. The work was conducted in two stages, the first being the excavation of four 1.5m x 1.5m test-pits which informed the depth and presence or otherwise of archaeological deposits. The second stage entailed the excavation of the footprint of the new building. The test-pits identified archaeological remains of Romano-British date 0.6m beneath the surface and this discovery was expanded on in the excavation that followed, which identified a series of pits containing domestic waste material at the southern end of the excavated area. These pits appear to have been backfilled during the 2nd century and one contained a number of disturbed cremations. In addition, a 4th- century north-south ditch was encountered at the north-western extreme of the excavation. It would appear that from the 1st century AD the excavated area comprised the rear plot of a moderate to high-status domestic building likely to have faced onto Stane Street to the south. In the post-Roman period the land reverted to agricultural use until the modern development of the school.
