Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and excavation was carried out along the route of the Fossetts Farm overhead line diversion, to the north of Southend-on-Sea. The scheme involved the construction of a new underground electricity cable trench from the electricity sub-station in Shopland Road, across farmland, to the roundabout in Sutton Road, just west of Smither''s Farm. Hitherto unknown sites of Middle Iron Age, early medieval, late medieval and post-medieval date were identified along the 1.6km route Three pits and a ditch of Middle Iron Age date were recorded in the northern part of the route. Also in the north, was a small cluster of early medieval pits and post-holes, two late medieval deposits perhaps infilling a pond or hollow and two post-medieval boundary ditches that formerly separated the northernmost field from Shopland Road. Further significant deposits of late medieval date were recorded in the south of the route close to Sutton Road. Possible structural remains in the form of rubble limestone footings for a timber building lay alongside pebble and shell surfaces. Worked stone, presumably re-used from a high status building elsewhere, was also present. In the early post-medieval period the same area may have been enclosed within a rectangular enclosure. Finds from the enclosure ditches and a near-by pit were of a range and quantity to imply domestic occupation in the near vicinity.
