Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology during the excavation of slit trenches to locate a surface water sewer pipe, a drainage pipe trench and a vehicle turning circle on land adjacent to Wagtail Drive, Heybridge, Essex. The work was undertaken in November 2015 in connection with planning permission for the creation of two attenuation ponds. The archaeological work was commissioned by Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited on behalf of Essex County Council. The excavation of the slit trenches in the eastern part of the site showed that natural River Terrace gravel was encountered at a depth of 0.8-1.9m BGL. In one trench this was overlain by reddish clay and in another by a yellowish sand; both deposits were interpreted as natural River Terrace deposits. Recent made ground overlay these natural geological deposits to a depths of 0.6 and 0.8m BGL. The drainage trench to the east of the site showed that a silty clay deposit interpreted as a natural River Terrace deposit was visible at 0.1 and 0.2m BGL and was overlain by topsoil and turf. Excavation for a turning circle in the northern of two mounds on the site and to the west of the surface water sewer showed that the site had been covered in a considerable depth of made ground. In conclusion, modern made ground had been dumped on the site but not on the area to the east of the site. No archaeological deposits or finds were recovered during the archaeological monitoring of groundworks.
