Abstract:		 In March and April 2012 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land at Wedow Road, Thaxted, Essex (NGR TL 6143 3123). The evaluation was carried out in compliance with the requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 55 dwellings (Uttlesford approval ref. UTT/1562/11, and UTT/1477/11/OP, APP/C1570/A/11/2158376). Thaxted was granted a market in 1205, and it became a major centre of cutlery production, with the town expanding rapidly in the 14th century. Knife handles of medieval date have been found in numerous locations in and around Thaxted. A late Iron Age enclosure and a cemetery of 1st-3rd century AD date have been identified to the north of the development area (HER 46184). In the event the evaluation revealed two post-medieval ditches (F1032 and F1042, possibly part of the same field boundary), two post-medieval pits (F1007 and F1013), and a small number of undated features. Two sherds of Bronze Age pottery were found in silt layer L1038, and abraded residual late medieval (mid 13th - 15th century) pottery was recovered.
