Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken on land to the rear of 22 High Street, Billericay in advance of residential development. The site lies within the core of the medieval and post-medieval town and no.22 is listed (LBS Number: 112331) and dates to the 18th century. The investigation demonstrated that much of the site had been reduced into the natural sands during construction of both the nearby buildings and the current car park to a level of between 49.01m OD nearer the road frontage and 49.41m OD at the rear of the site (fig. 1). From this reduced level, the site was then built-up with a series of compacted layers that comprised building rubble, possibly from the demolished modern outbuilding to the north of the development and other dumps of modern debris including concrete, engineer''s bricks, and segments of metal roofing. The remains of the modern outbuilding consisted of a foundation trench, spreads of demolition debris, concrete surfaces and a few short internal wall alignments that were constructed of frogged bricks. The monitoring established that no archaeological remains survived the high level of truncation/ disturbance (possibly up to 1.5m) across the site and concluded that the development will have no impact upon the archaeological record.
