Abstract:		 In January 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at White Cottage, Start Hill, Birchanger, Essex CM22 7TG (NGR TL 52071 21417; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with the requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of two new dwellings with associated garaging on the site (Uttlesford Council Planning Approval Ref.18/0999/OP). It was required based on the advice of Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (ECC HEA). The evaluation comprised the excavation of three test pits in an area significantly below street level. Two of the test pits were excavated to depths of 600 and 900mm and then augured; revealing considerable evidence for truncation and deposits of made ground indicative of soil movement. The made ground contained primarily Late 18th - Mid 20th century pottery which gives a time frame for this soil movement. Elsewhere on the site the levels varied and clearly much soil movement associated with building and landscaping has taken place. In Test Pit 2 Made Ground L1005 contained residual 14th - 16th century pottery, including the rim of a Colchester ware bowl, which may derive from focal points of activity in the local area, such as the brick kilns postulated around Tilekiln Green. Brick Floor or Surface F1006 was also recorded and may represent the remains of a former garden feature. In Test Pit 1 Ditch F1012 was recorded in section and contained 18th - mid 20th century pottery.
