Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology undertook an evaluation at Dutch Village, Canvey Island in the Borough of Castle Point. The evaluation comprised 22 trenches carried out in two phases in January 2021 and March/April 2021. The site was centred at National Grid Reference TQ 77813 84000 and a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) comprising a Roman saltern was located close to the northern boundary. The earliest layer encountered was a soft, blue-grey clayey sand recorded at 0.54m OD. Sealing the sand was a firm, blue-grey alluvial clay at 0.84m OD . A single timber or log, which appeared to have been charred was recorded at the base of this layer at c.-0.23m OD.A second alluvial layer composed of firm, yellowish-brown alluvial clay was recorded at 1.88m OD. This layer was between 0.50m - 0.60m thick. Cut into this were several shallow palaeochannel-like features which matched the curvilinear anomalies recorded during the geophysics survey. All were archaeologically sterile. The alluvial clay layers (and where extant, palaeochannels) were sealed by a layer of silty clay subsoil recorded at its highest in Trench 13 at 1.71m OD and at its lowest in Trench 15 at 1.13m OD. No archaeological features or deposits were uncovered or recorded during the evaluation and there was no evidence for the Roman saltern extending onto the site. .
