Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was carried out at 102 Norsey Road, Billericay in advance of a residential redevelopment. An existing bungalow was demolished and has been replaced with a larger house that extends to the south-east and south-west of the original. The site lies within the former extent of Norsey Wood, which was originally a medieval deer park enclosed by a substantial earth bank and ditch, dated documentarily to between 1291 and 1323. Monitoring was undertaken on the machine-excavation of the foundation trenches for the new house. The overburden exposed in the sides of the trenches was 0.2m to 0.4m thick and consisted of disturbed dark grey gravelly clay-silt containing numerous modern finds. The underlying natural comprised mixed deposits of light orangey brown silty clay, sand and gravel. No remains of prehistoric or Roman date were identified, nor any related to the medieval deer park. Comparison of the 25 inch Ordnance Survey of 1914-24 map with its modern-day equivalent suggests that that the boundary of the deer park was formerly located in the front garden of the property beyond the extent of the current building works. The only find of note was the below-ground half of a small World War II Anderson shelter constructed from concrete and corrugated metal sheets which was recovered from the south-west corner of the new build close to the property boundary.
