Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was carried out at Basin Road Bridge, Heybridge, Essex during groundworks in advance of the reconstruction of the existing bridge. The groundworks mainly consisted of the construction of a temporary road, ditch and path diversion to the east of Basin Road. As initial topsoil stripping was not deep enough to disturb any archaeological remains monitoring was limited to observation of the machine excavation of the new eastern ditch diversion. The only dated archaeological feature was a small pit containing a single sherd of Middle Iron Age pottery, which was excavated in the ditch diversion to the south of Spicketts Brook. Although the single sherd of pottery was insufficient to confirm that the pit was of definite Middle Iron Age date, it did at least attest to Middle Iron Age activity in the Basin Road area. The remaining features, three undated ditches of varying size and definition, were located in the ditch diversion to the north of the brook. The best defined of the three ditches aligned convincingly with a plotted cropmark ditch that appeared to form one side of a possible trackway in combination with a second ditch to the north (EHER 7992). Although there was no obvious sign of a similar ditch forming the northern side of the trackway it is likely that this role was filled by a second investigated ditch, which was considerably wider and shallower. The third of the three ditches was smaller and poorly defined and was possibly of natural origin.
