Abstract:		 Archaeological excavation was carried out in advance of redevelopment and subsequent to site evaluation carried out in October 2013. The site is located just outside the perceived extents of the former medieval town enclosure at Chipping Ongar, immediately to its north, and behind later medieval and post-medieval development along the High Street. No pre-medieval remains were identified, other than a small quantity of residual Roman brick/tile. The excavation revealed the presence of relatively extensive and complex remains primarily relating to the occupation of the site in the 12th to 14th centuries. Significantly, these remains lie outside the known/projected extents of the medieval town enclosure and are the first excavated evidence of earlier medieval occupation activity beyond its confines. Ditches and gullies define a succession of at least three phases of enclosure systems that are variously occupied by timber building remains, fragmentary occupation layers and surfaces, oven/hearth bases with associated use and disuse deposits, fencelines, pits and cultivation soils. Collectively, these define a range of occupation, processing/production and agricultural activities at the rear of a number of land plots at the northern fringe of the settlement during the medieval period. Late medieval decline/contraction in occupation activity and eventual reversion to apparent agricultural cultivation is evident, prior to the Victorian and later industrial use of this site.
