Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on land south of the allotment gardens, on the corner of Stump Lane and Springfield Road, Chelmsford in advance of a proposed housing development. Nine trenches were excavated across the 1.25 hectare site, representing a 4% sample of its area. The site lies 1km from Chelmsford's Roman, medieval and post-medieval core. Springfield Road follows the line of the Roman London-Colchester road. The evaluation identified very few archaeological features. A single sherd of Middle Iron Age pottery was recovered from a subsoil layer, indicating possible cultivation or other activity of that date. No remains positively dating to the Roman, medieval or post-medieval periods were identified, and there was no evidence of the postulated Roman cremation cemetery. One undated ditch containing baked clay and burnt flint ran parallel to Springfield Road and the presumed line of its Roman predecessor and is therefore most likely to be of Roman or medieval date. The latest excavated feature was a small pit dating to the 19th or 20th century.
