Abstract:		 In November and December 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation on land south of Whiteditch Lane, Newport, Essex CB11 3UD (NGR TL 51722 34663; Figs. 1 - 2. The excavation was undertaken in compliance with the requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 20 dwellings (Uttlesford Council Planning Ref. UTT/16/2024/FUL). The excavation was required based on the advice of the Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (ECC HEA). An archaeological evaluation had been previously undertaken (Edwards 2017). Features were most numerous towards the western end of the site and comprised pits and ditches. Some of the pits may have represented quarry pits or intercutting pits. The earliest finds were sherds of early Iron Age pottery from features in Trenches 2. The archaeology was directly comparable to that recorded within Area A of the adjacent excavation undertaken in 2016 (MoLA, 2016; EHER 48597). Here 13 intercutting pits, a post hole and a ditch were recorded, and the features contained late Bronze Age / early Iron Age pottery, animal bone and flint knapping debris. Some of the excavated features could be assigned an early Iron Age date, and the remainder were undated. Three pits (F3024, F3026 and F3056), a curvilinear ditch (F3058) and a layer (L3060) were present on the highest part of the site (the north-western sector). These features contained the largest assemblages of early Iron Age pottery. The north-western corner of a possible early Iron Age enclosure (F1013 (= F3020)) was present at the eastern end of the site, on the lower down the slope. A large periglacial feature or features (L3067) traversed the site and was orientated east/west. It had some of the characteristics of archaeological features and several slots were excavated through the `feature/s'.
