Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was carried out during groundworks for the construction of a new toilet, septic tank and drainage system at Castle Hill Tennis Club, Saffron Walden. Cut into natural chalk in the base of the septic tank trench was an undated post-hole and a linear foundation with a squared end (pier base). The foundation was filled with compacted yellow, chalk-flecked clay that in one oval area had been subject to intense heat presumably during demolition. The foundation would appear to be part of a truncated and robbed building. Although no dating evidence was recovered the recovery of unabraded late medieval roof tile and fragments of architectural stone from the backfill suggests that the building might be of medieval date. An undated pit was recorded in the drainage field trench to the north of the area and a sequence of undated demolition or make-up deposits, including crushed Limestone and plaster-like material, noted in the soakaway to the west. Buried topsoil at a depth of 1.5m in the base of the soakaway was overlain in the south-west corner by small flints embedded in chalk.
