Abstract:		 An archaeological investigation was carried out in the fields to the east of St Botolph''s Church, Hadstock, during October 2005. Five trenches were excavated across earthworks in the pasture field to the immediate east of the churchyard and two trenches were investigated in the large arable field to the south east. Trenches were located to further investigate the results of a geophysical survey carried out by GSB Prospection that demonstrated the presence of a range of likely archaeological features. Four small Roman boundary ditches were excavated dating from the late 1st to early 3rd centuries AD. Of these, two parallel ditches formed the sides of a possible track-way. One residual sherd of Middle Saxon pottery was recovered from the excavation, indicating a probable Saxon presence in the landscape. However, no firm evidence for the existence of St Botolph''s monastery was found. Two large 13th to 14th century quarry pits were identified and medieval layers of similar date were excavated from beneath an undated flint surface in the centre of the field. Two large post-medieval quarry pits were identified likely a source of clay and chalk for use in house building and repair work within the village. A post-medieval/ modern ditch containing 19th to 20th century pottery was exposed. In addiction a bank in excess of 3m wide, composed of sand with chalk and flint, was partly exposed in the centre of the field. This corresponded with part of a large semi-circular anomaly identified by the resistivity survey.
