Abstract:		 In August 2016 and April 2017, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at Land at Old Chicken Farm, Thorpe Road, Little Clacton, Essex (Grid Ref: TM 18100 18800) as part of a scheme of archaeological works, ahead of the erection of housing. A brief issued by the Essex County Council Place Services (ECCPS) required an archaeological investigation in the form of trial trenches. The archaeological background suggested that the site had a specific potential for prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the site. The first phase of works required the excavation of nine trial trenches measuring 50.00m x 1.80m and a single 15.00 x 1.80m. Unfortunately no archaeological finds or features were encountered in the trenches. The evaluation revealed one main phase of activity at the site which was associated with modern cultivation at the site which included the installation of land drains. The lack of sub soil at the site is suggestive of some kind of intrusive landscaping taking place in the later 20th century when the site was in use as a chicken farm. Due to the lack of archaeological finds and features in Phase 1, a recommendation for no further archaeological fieldwork in the Phase 2 area has been suggested.
