Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out at Crossroads, Water Lane, Helions Bumpstead, Essex in advance of a small residential development. The site is located in the centre of the historic village, which is recorded by the Domesday Survey as existing before 1066, and was considered to have a high potential for Saxon, medieval and post-medieval remains. The evaluation was carried out by the Essex CC Field Archaeology Unit on behalf of the Enterprise Group Ltd, and was monitored by the Essex CC Historic Environment Management team on behalf of the local planning authority. The evaluation trench was located in Plot 2, a garden area in the north of the site, and was L-shaped with two 10m long arms. Plot 1 was not investigated as it was occupied by the existing bungalow. The trenching identified no evidence of the Saxon or medieval village other than a single sherd of residual 13th-14th century pottery. Two small 17th century pits were recorded, but otherwise only modern features were found, dating to the 19th and 20th century. The only evidence of the buildings showing on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey were 19th century or later cobbled and clay surfaces in the extreme north of the site.
