Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation was carried out on the land to the rear of The Fox Inn, Rivenhall End in advance of the construction of an extension to the existing building. The evaluation was undertaken as a part of a condition placed on planning consent by Braintree District Council on the advice of Essex County Council Historic Environment Management team. Two north-east/south-west aligned trenches were excavated by a machine fitted with a toothless bucket, under the supervision of an archaeologist. Their position was limited by existing soakaway tanks and service pipes. Trench 1 measured 6.2m by 1.6m by 0.7m deep. The 0.2m overburden comprised a layer of concrete and hardcore, overlaying 0.5m of greyish brown clayey silt subsoil that in turn sealed natural deposits, which consisted of gravel with patches of orangey-brown clay silt. Measuring 9.65m by 1.6m by 0.65m deep, trench 2 was located in the south-west part of the proposed extension and the sequence of the deposits was the same as in trench 1, with the exceptions of the overburden consisting of 0.3m dark brownish-grey silt with turf and the thickness of subsoil which was 0.15m thinner. The north-east end of trench 1 revealed the corner of a modern brick structure and a modern rubbish pit. Both trenches were cut by multiple rain water drains buried at the depths from 0.3 to 0.7m. No other archaeological remains were identified. The evaluation suggests that the proposed development will not have any impact upon the archaeological record.
