Abstract:		 In March 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Oaklands, Ongar Road, Great Dunmow, Essex (NGR TL 62877 20892; 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 25 dwelling and associated infrastructure (Uttlesford Council Planning Approval Ref. UTT/17/2238/FUL). It was required based on the advice of Historic Environment Advisor of Essex County Council (ECC HEA). Features were present in the majority of trenches. Principally they comprised undated ditches, which may be associated with a late Iron Age to Roman ladder fields system recorded to the north, but this remains a very tentative association without any supporting artefactual evidence, and the ditches are variable in their orientation and form. A post hole, tree hollow and natural depression were also present. Trench 1 contained a series of layers which were examined by hand dug test pits, labelled 1 - 3. The layers contained 19th century pottery and residual fragmented and abraded Roman CBM. The presence of Roman CBM is not unexpected given the proximity of the nucleus of a Roman town. No evidence for the projected route of a Roman road was recorded, which if extant may follow a more direct route to the west of the site.
