Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Lok'nStore to carry out an archaeological field evaluation in advance of development on land at 160 Priory Crescent, Southend-on-Sea, Essex (Figure 1), centred on National Grid Reference TQ 87815 87590 . A total of three machine-dug trial trenches (numbered 1-3) were excavated during the course of the evaluation. Across the Site, the undisturbed soil sequence was sealed beneath up to 1.55m of modern made ground. The presence of an undisturbed buried land surface, represented by a thin turfline, below the made ground deposits enabled the reconstruction of the former topography of the Site. The location of the buried turfline layer, recorded between 11.91m aOD and 13.27m aOD indicates that formerly the Site was situated on a moderate, north and north-west facing slope. Within Trenches 2 and 3, a sequence of deposits derived in a wet, anaerobic environment were recorded and indicate that the lower lying area of the Site was previously situated within marshland. The presence of medieval pottery and tile suggests that the marshland was occasionally used for the disposal of domestic rubbish. In Trench 1, three south-east to north-west aligned palaeochannels were recorded and dated to the medieval period. These former water channels would have drained water from the higher ground to the south, where the Romano-British and Saxon cemeteries were located, towards the marshland to the east of the Prittle Brook.
