Abstract:		 In March 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation adjacent to Cranford Cottage, Duck Street, Wendens Ambo, Essex (NGR TL 509 359). The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval to construct a new house and garage (Planning Reference UTT/2337/10). The evaluation revealed Roman, medieval and post-medieval features, and the occurrence of sparse struck flint is also suggestive of prehistoric activity. The Roman features were dispersed and recorded in Trench 1 (Ditch F1010 and Pit 1013) and Trench 3 (Pit F1006 and Ditch F1021). Ditches F1010 (Tr.1) and F1021 (Tr.3) contained large assemblages of Roman pottery, and Ditch F1010 contained a thatch or loomweight. Medieval (12th - 14th century) features were found in Trenches 2 (Pit 1027) and 3 (Ditch F1018, Layer 1020 and Pit F1023), towards the front of the site. The post-medieval feature was Flint Surface S1035 (Trench 2), but it may be earlier. A ?trackway metalled with flint cobbles dating from the medieval period was recorded on the adjacent site. The archaeological evidence is comparable to that recorded on the adjacent site where Roman and medieval features were revealed (Wightman 2009). It is suggested that the Roman features may indicate agricultural activity peripheral to the Roman villa complex at Chinnel Barn. The adjacent site also recorded medieval features dating from the 12th century or earlier. It is suggested that the medieval activity may relate to a farmstead on the edge of the medieval village of Wendens Ambo.
