Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology East carried out an open area excavation within the Beaulieu Minerals Extraction Site (Site 1), Beaulieu, Chelmsford ahead of the winning of sand and gravels as part of the Beaulieu Minerals Extraction scheme. The works revealed a sequence of archaeological deposits spanning the Early Bronze Age to post-medieval periods. Evidence for prehistoric activity included three Early Bronze Age that may have been the remnants of cremations. An Early Iron Age post-built structure, possibly a grain store, was recorded in Area 1B. During the Middle Iron Age an unenclosed settlement was established in Area 1A consisting of a roundhouse, a post-built structure and two ovens, a possible stock enclosure and numerous pits and postholes. Subsequently a Late Iron Age roundhouse within a sub-rectangular enclosure were set out in this area. The Early Roman period was represented by rectangular structures with associated cobbled surfaces and a small oven and a trackway to the north-east. Two areas of 12th to 14th century occupation were identified. These comprised a rectangular enclosure encompassing a rectangular building and a small building was recorded in association with intercutting cess pits and a hollow filled by midden material. By the transitional medieval period several brick-filled gullies had been laid out, backfilled with broken brick fragments following the alignments of pre-existing medieval boundary ditches. These probably formed the foundations for creating visible barriers within the deer park landscape. Three post medieval ring ditches spaced across the excavation were most likely tree stands within a formal or managed garden.
