Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation and metal-detector survey carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land north-east of Bretts Factory, Colchester, Essex (NGR TM 01960 28422) between the 29th of June and the 8th of July 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by Jim Hunter of WSP Group in response to an archaeological brief issued by Adrian Gascoyne, the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council's Place Services Team (ECCPST). The aim of the work was to characterize the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The principal result of the evaluation was the discovery of three small fire pits, of a Late Iron Age date as well as a series of undated small ditches of presumed agricultural function. The evaluation also uncovered a single Middle Bronze Age cast, copper alloy palstave axehead, which was located within the interface of the Topsoil and the Natural and was not associated with any cut feature(s).
