Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out at Crumps Farm, Little Canfield, Essex, on land adjacent to an existing quarry/landfill site. Thirteen evaluation trenches were excavated. A variety of archaeological remains dating to the medieval, post-medieval and modern periods were recorded. No earlier features were encountered, although the recovery of a small number of abraded Roman finds attest to activity of this date in the area. A small cluster of medieval gullies and pits, dating from the 12th to later 13th century, were excavated in the south of the evaluation area. These features may represent small-scale settlement or agricultural activity close to the position of a former track-way. It is likely that the centre of this activity lies just outside the development area, adjacent to a dog-leg in the alignment of a former track. Medieval pottery was also recovered from a series of large field boundary ditches previously identified as cropmarks. As the majority of these ditches correspond with those shown on the 1842 tithe map the medieval pottery is likely to be residual, possibly deriving from manuring, but does indicate that the field system may have had medieval origins. No significant archaeological remains were identified in the northern part of the evaluation area, while the medieval features noted above were relatively few in number and unlikely to be greatly elucidated by further work. Overall, the archaeological impact of the development would appear to be low.
