Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA), Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to conduct an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching on Land West of Hill Hall, Little Sampford Road, Hawkspur Green, Little Bardfield Essex. The evaluation was carried out in advance of a proposed solar farm development. Eighteen evaluation trenches were excavated, covering an area of 1440m2 and representing approximately 1% of the total area of the 11.7ha site. The site was located on a gentle north-eastern facing slope, with ground level falling from 100m OD to 92m OD. The natural stratum was glacial boulder clay of the Lowestoft Formation. Current land use was as an arable field. Archaeological remains were found in twelve of the evaluation trenches. A curving ditch/gully with an out-turned terminus produced moderate amounts of Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age pottery and fragments of fired clay. It is interpreted provisionally as either the eaves-drip gully for a roundhouse or a simple enclosure ditch. Occupation of the site in the medieval period was represented by a group of three closely spaced features: a ditch, a pit and a possible foundation trench for a timber stave building or structure, all dated by pottery to c. 1200. Several ditches of probable post-medieval origin can be related to field boundaries shown on 19th-century maps.
