Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and excavation was carried out during groundworks within the initial development phase of the North Essex Adult Community College (NEACC) complex, Spinks Lane, Witham. Phase 1 encompassed construction of the NEACC building, southern half of car-park and water storage/ holding cells. It has been established that that archaeological potential is limited to a strip alongside Spinks Lane, where the raising of ground surface rather than reduction has occurred as a consequence of levelling for the former all-weather pitch. It was in this area that during construction of the water storage/ holding cells that archaeological significant materials and deposits were exposed. Subsequent excavation revealed the presence of Middle Iron Age/ Late Iron Age? features denoting an area of potential occupation. The archaeological features exposed comprised a boundary, denoted by four inter-cutting ditches, a small gully and elongated pit, and two stake holes. The results further inform and supplement previous archaeological works carried out in close proximity and provide insight, into the interior components of the postulated Witham Lodge Earthwork and extent of the Iron Age activity in the area.
