Abstract:		 Following an archaeological evaluation of 2005 which recorded medieval quarry pits and post-medieval rubbish pits an archaeological excavation was undertaken in 2010. The excavation area recorded four phases of archaeological activity; medieval, early post-medieval (1480-1600), later post-medieval (1600-1800) and 19th century, cutting into the natural underlying brickearth. The medieval activity was represented by brickearth quarry pits. The early post-medieval phase saw continued quarrying of the natural brickearth along with a series of rubbish pits. By the later post-medieval phase quarrying of the natural brickearth appeared to have ceased with a large number of refuse pits now being located across the site. However, recorded during this phase was a kiln structure manufacturing bricks dated to the late 17th to early 18th centuries. This kiln structure was unusual as it was sunken within a cut as opposed to being at ground level. The medieval and post-medieval activity on site represents activity on the periphery of the town of Chelmsford to the south. The 19th century saw further groups of refuse pits together with brick foundations.
