Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology East undertook monitoring, strip and map recording, and excavation along the route of the Braintree PZ Supply/Demand Balance pipeline for Anglian Water. This report deals with those sites and findings uncovered on the route from Great Horkesley, in the west, to Ardleigh Reservoir, in the east. The westernmost segment of the route up to the A12 at Langham falls under the jurisdiction of Colchester Borough Council Planning Department, whilst the eastern segment from the A12 to the termination at the Ardleigh Reservoir falls within the remit of Essex County Council Place Services. Excavations uncovered two sites between Great Horkesley and Langham (Sites 1 and 2) and another two sites between Langham and Ardleigh (Sites 3 and 4). Site 1 consisted of undated and post-medieval pits and ditches. Remains uncovered at Site 2 comprised Late Iron Age and Roman boundary ditches. Site 3 contained ditches and pits that have been dated to the post-medieval period, possibly related to former field boundaries and agricultural activities. Part of a medieval and post-medieval fieldsystem was also uncovered at Site 4, along with evidence of prehistoric activity. An Ardleigh-type vessel, radio carbon dated to the beginning of the Late Bronze Age, was recovered from an isolated pit. Monitoring of topsoil removal on the remainder of the route uncovered no significant archaeological features. A metal detector survey along the entire route located primarily modern finds.
