Abstract:		 In response to a condition on the planning permission for development on land at St Margarets, Beacon Hill, Purfleet, Essex, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the site. The evaluation of the site has revealed a single archaeological feature of potential medieval date, which is likely to represent a field boundary or other land division. The low number of finds, and the condition of the pottery recovered, suggests that the ditch is located some distance from settlement or domestic habitation. The Purfleet area is know to have potential for Palaeolithic remains to survive amid extensive river terrace gravels deposited on the north side of the chalk ridge known as the Purfleet Anticline. After consultation with a specialist palaeo-archaeologist, Peter Allen, it was established that the site lies on the southern side of this ridge, away from the gravel deposits. On the basis of the data gained in the course of this evaluation, the risk that the development might encounter further archaeological remains of medieval date is High, but the significance of those remains is likely to be Low. The risk of encountering remains of any other period is Low.
