Abstract:		 An archaeological monitoring and recording project was undertaken during the groundworks for an extension to the existing house at 19 High Fields, Great Dunmow, within the proposed limits of the Roman small town. The main objectives of the investigation were to identify the nature and longevity of any Roman evidence found within the site and the impact it might have upon the interpretation of the economy of the Roman town. Two Roman probable gullies aligned north-east to south-west were revealed in the northernmost footing that were cut through the subsoil and sealed by topsoil. Due to poor visibility during the machine excavation of the footings, no finds were recovered directly from the features but pottery dating between the late 2nd and 4th centuries was found within the topsoil/subsoil, in the area of the gullies. No further features or finds were identified. The gullies are likely to represent small-scale Roman activity on the periphery of the Roman small town. The projected course of the Roman road Stane Street runs roughly north-west to south-east ,close to the northern site boundary, and as the gullies run perpendicular to the road this may therefore may represent drainage or plot/field boundaries.
