Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit on land to the rear of 37-61 High Street, Great Dunmow, Essex, in advance of redevelopment. Although the site lies within the historic core of the town, in an area of high archaeological significance, the evaluation demonstrated that the survival of archaeological features and deposits across the development area was generally poor, but that archaeological remains survived in a localised pockets behind existing High Street properties. The earliest remains were medieval, dating to the 13th to 14th centuries and consisted of a probable well and small pit. Later remains included post-medieval and modern pits and small isolated post-holes. To the rear of The Boars Head public house (No.37), several post-holes and a possible beam slot contained post-medieval material within their fills but may have belonged to an earlier structure which had been dismantled. The importation of soil onto the site in the Early Modern/ Modern period, along with the construction of a raised concrete loading bay or building platform, has resulted in the raising of ground levels across the area of investigation by up to 1.3m which, coupled with the localised and poor levels of survival noted, suggests that the development is unlikely to have a significant impact upon the archaeological record.
