Abstract:		 Tendring District Council requested that a site proposed for new affordable housing north of St John's Road at the edge of the urban area of Clacton be subject to an archaeological evaluation to identify the nature and extent of the archaeological resource. This evaluation was undertaken on behalf of J S Bloor Ltd to provide enough information to allow the planning decision to fully assess the likely implications of the proposals on the archaeological resource and to determine if a programme of mitigation is required. A desk-based assessment carried out as part of this evaluation revealed that the site lay at the centre of a series of cropmark complexes of various periods and an Historic Environment Characterisation Project undertaken by English Heritage had previously identified the area as being of potentially high archaeological importance. The cropmarks in the northern part of the site were regular and on the same alignment as the modern field boundaries; the evaluation confirmed that they were part of the post-medieval field-system and were probably associated with the fairly recently demolished Joy's Farm, the remains of which were also recorded. Former post-medieval field boundaries and drains were by far the most common features encountered and were present in nearly half of the trenches. Other features recorded included a series of generally small and shallow undated features, some of which may have had contained a fire, and a number of irregular features, possibly elements of medieval settlement, perhaps the forerunner to Joy's Farm.
