Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Elms Farm, Stantsted Mountfichet, Essex (NGR TL 51604 24800 between the 17th to the 19th August 2016. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd in response to a planning condition attached to the construction of up to 53 residential dwellings, associated public open space, allotments, flood relief measures and environmental/landscape improvements. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The principal result of the evaluation was the recording of a number of peat deposits, with associated deposits of alluvium. Deposits of peat have been discovered nearby which date to, firstly, the Bronze Age with a second deposit of peat forming in the Saxon period. The alluvial deposits likely relate to seasonal flooding of the area with peat building up in the intervening periods. An undated ditch and undated post-hole were uncovered in Trench 2, with a further undated ditch present in Trench 4. These likely post-date the formation of the peat deposits, as the area would have been unsuitable for activity at that time.
