Abstract:		 The Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit carried out an archaeological excavation for the Salvation Army before rebuilding of the Salvation Army Citadel, 70 Baddow Road, Chelmsford, Essex. The excavation was undertaken to supplement the earlier work that had recorded a Roman pit and a linear feature running east-west across the site, interpreted as a post-medieval hollow-way or a Roman Road. Trench 1 in the south-west of the site recorded a mixed alluvial deposit containing large amounts of Roman rubbish, mainly pottery, dating to the mid-2nd to mid-3rd century, with a few sherds of medieval pottery representing later disturbance. Residual Mesolithic flint tools were also recovered. This is consistent with evidence from the surrounding area, that the site lay in an area of rubbish disposal at the north-eastern limit of the Roman town, outside both the town defences and the extra-mural temple precinct. Trench 2 in the north-east of the site investigated the post-medieval hollow-way and re-interpreted it as a relict channel at the southern edge of the flood-plain of the river Can, filled with alluvial deposits to a depth of at least 1.8m (2.45m below modern ground level). There is no evidence for a Roman road crossing the site, and the main Roman road leading eastwards out of Chelmsford ran 90m to the south. The pottery from the 1971 trenching was re-examined and, together with the pottery recovered in 2008, has dated the sequence of infilling of the channel to the 14th to 16th centuries.
