Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at the former Boyd Hall, St Mary's Lane, Upminster, in advance of the construction of nine detached houses with gardens and garages. Six evaluation trenches measuring between 13.5m and 28m long by 1.6m wide, totalling 106.1m or c. 5% of the development area, were excavated across the 0.349 ha site. Boyd House was founded by the Boyd family in 1870 as a school serving the village of Cranham and retained its original function until 1950. The building was Grade II Listed between 2000 and 2006, when it was delisted following a review that concluded the building had been too heavily altered to justify Listed status. The building was finally demolished following two arson attacks. The investigation was prompted by a lack of information about the archaeological potential of the area in general, where remains associated with the development of the medieval village of Cranham may have survived, and the presence or absence of any archaeological remains within the site itself. The investigation did not reveal any significant remains. An east-west orientated ditch was identified in trench one, which contained a single undated fill and did not appear to extend far onto the site. Two more features were discovered in trench 3, but both of them were very shallow, containing fills similar to the surrounding subsoil and are thought to have been formed by natural factors. Neither of these feature produced any finds.
