Abstract:		 Archaeological 'strip, map and sample' excavation was carried out over a c.3.5ha area of arable land (Area A4 Phase 4) at Bradwell Quarry (formerly Rivenhall Airfield), Braintree, Essex. Up to seven undated pits and post-holes in the east of the site could potentially be of prehistoric date. Similar undated features encountered across previous areas of the quarry have generally been assumed to be of Bronze or Iron Age. The majority of remains present date to the medieval period and were concentrated in the west of the site close to its northern boundary. The remains consisted of a number of ditches forming several small enclosures, a collection of possible structural features and a few pits and probably form part of a farmstead located adjacent to Cuthedge Lane. Pottery evidence suggests that it was in fairly continuous use from the early 13th century through into the 14th century. Although there is slight evidence to perhaps suggest two sub-phases of occupation or more intense activity, in the early 13th century and again in the later 13th to 14th century. In the post-medieval period the farmstead area was cut by two roughly north/south aligned ditches, one containing broad 16th to 19th century pottery and the other several ceramic field drains. In the south of the site one undated gully containing animal bone may also date to the post-medieval period. Two ditches depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map were infilled with brick during construction of the WW2 airfield
