Abstract:		 In October 2009 Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit conducted an archaeological evaluation at Elm Cottage, Newmarket Road, Great Chesterford (NGR TL5041 4023) in advance of two proposed extensions to the existing building. A trial trench measuring 3.2m x 0.6m was hand excavated along the proposed south-eastern footing of the music room extension. A 1m x1m test pit was also hand excavated in the area proposed for the new kitchen/bedroom development. The site is situated to the north of the centre of Great Chesterford and to the south-west of the former Roman town. The WSI (ECC FAU 2009) and Brief (ECC HEM 2009) indicated the Roman town wall was thought to run through the cottage and the proposed music room extension to the south. Great Chesterford's late Roman town wall foundation was present in the north-eastern end of the trench. Its apparent construction method included the removal of the topsoil, followed by the construction of the foundations which were then further supported by dumped material on its south-western (interior) side. The foundations comprised large flint nodules and chalk within a sandy mortar matrix. The remaining archaeological activity comprised a series of modern (Victorian) walls and surfaces, on of which is shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey. Further monitoring work has been recommended to commence during the groundworks for the proposed kitchen/bedroom extension.
