Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land adjacent to Wagtail Drive, Heybridge, Essex, CM9 4UD (TL 86477 08211) in January 2016 in advance of the creation of two large attenuation ponds. The trial trench evaluation demonstrated that the most recent underlying geological deposit to survive was sandy gravels, identified as River Terrace deposits. The only potentially archaeological remains encountered during the evaluation were two heavily truncated layers of relatively sterile made ground. These were of uncertain date and appear to represent only minimal activity in the form of dumping, possibly to build the ground up as a level surface and/or reclaim it from flooding. All deposits surviving on site had been very heavily truncated by modern activity, in the form of a very substantial backfilled feature, which is likely to be related to the late 20th century housing development along nearby Wagtail Drive. With exclusively modern deposits revealed across the majority of the evaluated area, it is clear that this development has had a very major impact upon the survival of both natural geological deposits, and any earlier cultural remains that may once have existed on the site.
