Abstract:		 The monitoring of topsoil stripping of phases 3.1 (east), 3.2, 3.3 and 4.1 at Bradwell Quarry (formerly Rivenhall Airfield) has identified a small number of archaeological features ranging in date from the prehistoric to post-medieval periods. A prehistoric pit contained sherds of Middle Bronze Age pottery from at least six vessels. The isolated location of the pit and the fact that it contained only a few sherds from each vessel with a bias in favour of decorated upper-body sherds, suggests that this may be a deliberate deposit of a possible ritual or ceremonial nature. One tentatively dated Roman pit was excavated and elsewhere residual Roman tile and Late Iron Age pottery was recovered indicating a Romano/British presence in the landscape early in the first millennium AD. Medieval pits and a gully dated to the late 12th to early 13th century. A sample of burnt crop processing waste recovered from a pit indicated that wheat was being processed but that previous crops had included barley and oats. Post-medieval field boundary ditches were identified, some latterly infilled during construction of the World War II airfield.
