Abstract:		 In September and October 2019 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Slamseys Farm, Blackley Lane, Black Notley, Essex, for Arup on behalf of Gridserve Sustainable energy LTD. For planning purposes the Site is known as Land west of A131, London Road, Great Notley. Thirteen trenches were excavated across the 2.33ha site. Evidence of Iron Age activity in the wider vicinity of the Site is suggested by a single sherd of late prehistoric pottery from a pit in trench 3, and the presence of pottery in the Late Iron Age - Early Roman tradition from a number of other features of likely early Roman date. Features of Roman date were encountered in the northern half of the site, specifically in trenches 3 and 5, while undated features in trench 4, 7 and 13 may be related. Pottery indicates activity in the mid to late Roman period (2nd to 4th century). Crop processing waste was also recovered from environmental samples taken from a pit in trench 3 and probable ditch terminal in trench 5. A possible quarry pit may be contemporary with the other confirmed Roman features, having also produced late Roman pottery. However, postmedieval quarrying was also identified within the development area and the Roman material in this feature may be redeposited. Undated but possible Roman features include a curving ditch/ gully seen in trench 7 and 13 respectively. A field boundary depicted on the First Edition Ordinance Survey map of 1875 was represented by two intercutting ditches, while a field pond also depicted on the First Edition map, survived in part as a partially infilled depression and large pond. The overall size and depth of the feature would suggest that it originated as a quarry pit, with part of the outer edge and associated backfill deposits having been encountered in trench 4.
