Abstract:		 In July 2007, Archaeological Solutions conducted an archaeological evaluation of land off Bramble Road, previously Kingdom Hall, Powers Hall End, Witham, Essex (NGR TL 81431 15484). The evaluation was undertaken as part of a planning condition required by the local planning authority (07/00257/FUL, 06/02289/FUL, and 06/02290/FUL) for a proposed new residential development comprising 85 units. An Iron Age hillfort has been discovered to the south of the site (HER8106) with multi-period occupation starting during the Mesolithic/Neolithic and used into the medieval period. A Roman hypocaust was discovered immediately to the south of the site (HER8340) although the centre of the Roman settlement was located to the south-east. The town was populated during the Saxon period although the centre of the burh has never been discovered. The town prospered during the medieval period, but was never an influential settlement. In recent years land around Witham has been increasingly developed. Three features were recorded during this second phase of evaluation at the site; a Posthole (F1005), a Ditch (F1008) and a Gully (F1009). These features were isolated from one another and did not appear to be related to features depicted on the historic cartographic sources making interpretation difficult. No finds were recovered from these features and as a result they remain undated.
