Abstract:		 Archaeological Investigation was carried out at Heybridge Primary School, Rowan Drive, Heybridge in advance of the construction of a new nursery unit. After the identification of archaeological remains in an initial evaluation trench a large part of the footprint of the new building was opened-up for area excavation on the recommendation of the ECC HEM monitoring officer. The area of excavation covered approximately 120 square metres. No remains of early Prehistoric, Roman or Saxon date were identified. However, five Late Iron Age features were identified that probably date to the first half of the 1st century AD. The features comprised two adjacent east-west aligned boundary ditches, two shallow scoops and a pit containing re-deposited burnt material. A large quantity (2.6 kg) of pottery recovered from one of the ditches suggests the presence of domestic occupation, perhaps a farmstead, in the vicinity. The position of the two ditches aligns almost exactly with linear cropmarks (EHER 16407) recorded to the immediate east of the site. Although some of the plotted cropmark ditches are inter-cutting and therefore likely to be of varying date, the investigation has shown that those closest to the site date to the Late Iron Age with the implication that others in the vicinity are probably contemporary and part of a widespread agricultural field system.
