Abstract:		 Additional archaeological evaluation was carried out on the site of a proposed flood washland on land to the north of the A127 at Nevendon, near Basildon, in order to further elucidate the results of a trenching evaluation carried out in November and December 2005 (Robertson 2006). Four test pits measuring 1m x 1m were excavated by hand through topsoil to investigate the incidence of Mesolithic artefacts in the topsoil. A small trench extension, measuring 10m x 25m, was stripped over the remains of a suspected Mesolithic working floor first identified, in trench 47, during the trenching evaluation. The hand-dug test pits revealed significant incidence of worked Mesolithic flints in the topsoil, as well as burnt flint and prehistoric, Roman and medieval pottery. All the pottery recovered was abraded and the prehistoric pottery was consistent in date with that recovered from features during the trial trenching evaluation. The remaining pottery is general background material that has been moved around the landscape by ploughing and other human action. The trench extension confirmed the existence of at least one Mesolithic deposit and revealed four Stake-holes sealed by it. These results confirm the findings of the previous evaluation, in that tangible Mesolithic remains survive within the site which is potentially of high importance. The distribution of the Mesolithic flints further suggests that the identifiable Mesolithic activity is confined to the south-central and south-western parts of the site.
