Abstract:		 In October 2008, Archaeological Solutions Limited conducted an archaeological evaluation on land at St Osyth Priory Park, St Osyth, Tendring, Essex (NGR TM 1167 1566). The assessment was commissioned in advance of a proposed residential development. The site lies within St Osyth's Priory Park adjacent to the Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM no. 24) associated with the Priory and the registered park and garden. It occupies an area of known cropmarks plotted by the National Mapping Programme (NMP). To the south of the site is a substantial residential development whilst the edge of St Osyth's Creek lies to the immediate south-west. Land to the north of the site is agricultural in character and encompasses part of the Priory Park. The remains of the priory lie to the east of the site. The evaluation consisted of 35 trenches, which corresponded to the footprint of the proposed residential development. One hundred features were excavated in all, most of which were discreet ditches and pits. Finds were generally sparse throughout the site, although a number interesting features were securely dated providing a general occupation range from the high medieval to the 19th century. Among the excavated features was a post-medieval waterlogged timber structure in the vicinity of the older creek bed, an early post-medieval up-draught kiln with two firing tunnels for the production of peg tiles, associated waster pits, a road with a metalled surface and lateral drainage ditches, a series of post-medieval garden features, and medieval backyard rubbish pits.
