Abstract:		 On 31st July 2017 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at 16 Coast Road, West Mersea, Essex (TM 00801 12508) on behalf of Bill Fox in advance of the construction of a single dwelling within a curtilage of a grade II* listed building, with car port and associated external works, at 16 Coast Road, West Mersea, Essex, (TM 00801 12508). The work was undertaken in response to a design brief issued by Colchester Borough Council Archaeological Advisor (CBC/AA) (Tipper, J. dated 23rd May 2017) which required a programme of linear trial trenching to sample the threatened available area. This constituted 18m of excavated area, forming a single 10.00m x 1.80m trench arranged diagonally across the proposed dwelling's footprint on a NW-SE alignment. The evaluation revealed 2 phases of activity on the site. The first phase relates to sub soil 1001 which is likely a buried agricultural sub soil indicative of the sites prior use as agricultural land. The presence of the post-medieval CBM and tile fragments suggest possible night soiling. The second phase relates to top soil 1000 which is a modern garden soil covering the agricultural sub soil 1001. Modern iron nail and CBM were found in this layer and it likely represents the use of the site as a garden following the previous phase of agricultural use which possibly ended between 1880 and 1900. According to OS maps and aerial photographs the site has been used as a garden since this time until present day.
