Abstract:		 Two evaluation trenches were excavated in the garden of No.14 Marsh Road, Tillingham ahead of a planned residential development largely on the footprint of an extant 20th century bungalow. The proposed development site was located in the historic settlement of Tillingham, close to the central square. East-west aligned trench 1 was located immediately south of the extant bungalow and north-south aligned trench 2 was located along the western boundary of the property. The overburden comprised a layer of dark blackish grey, soft silty clay topsoil which had occasional concentrations of modern material such as building sand and rubble fragments caused by modern disturbance. This overlay a mid greyish brown soft silty clay subsoil, likely to have been a plough soil predating the residential development of the area. This in turn sealed the archaeological horizon and the natural deposit of light yellowish orange clay. Trench 1 revealed the north-east terminus of an undated ditch oriented NE-SW and a linear feature oriented N-S. The ditch terminus was 0.84m wide and 0.23m deep. It had moderately steep sides and a concave base. Although undated by finds, this ditch due to its alignment appears to predate the existing boundaries set perpendicular to Marsh Road. The second linear was 0.5m wide by 0.06m deep, had very shallow sides and a concave base. Also undated by finds, the alignment suggests a later date; the very shallow remains of an agricultural feature seems the most likely interpretation. No archaeological remains were identified within trench 2.
