Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In October 2008 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of detailed archaeological monitoring and recording at Folly House, Stortford Road, Great Dunmow, Essex (NGR TL 6171 2187). The works were carried out as part of a planning condition on the construction of a detached three bay garage (Planning Ref: UTT/005/08). The desk-based assessment showed potential for multi-phase remains. Numerous investigations close to the site have produced both prehistoric and Roman evidence indicative of possible settlement in the area, particularly with the location of the Roman Stane Street adjacent to the site. Great Dunmow began to develop in the Anglo-Saxon and medieval period but the site appeared to lie on the periphery of the main settlement. Folly Farm and its buildings were founded from the 15th century and dominated the land surrounding the site until the present day. Despite the potential for multi phase remains as stipulated in the desk based assessment no archaeological features were recorded. A clunch surface was revealed in the north-eastern area of the site which probably dates to when the main house was a farm. The layer below this contained 19th and 20th century pot to help reinforce the clunch surface as something recent and related to the previous structures on the site.
