Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February and March 2018 on land east of Halstead Road, Kirby Cross, Essex. The work comprised the excavation of six areas, totalling 1035m2, within the overall 18.86ha development site. Remains of prehistoric, possible late prehistoric - Roman or Roman - Early Saxon, medieval and post-medieval date were identified. A single unurned cremation of Middle Bronze Age date represents the earliest activity encountered on the site. Possible late prehistoric to Roman or Roman to Early Saxon activity comprised two intercutting ditches that produced a single sherd of possible Late Iron Age or Early Saxon pottery from each ditch, and a small pit containing two sherds of worn and abraded Romano-British grey ware. However, the small quantity of artefactual material recovered coupled with its undiagnostic/ abraded nature raises the potential for these remains to be later, possibly medieval, in date. Medieval activity, focused in the eastern part of the site, appears to have begun around the beginning of the 12th century, with a lack of later pottery forms indicating that had ceased by the end of the 13th century or very early 14th. Ditches, possibly forming part of a trackway or enclosure system, and a cluster of small pits and postholes were encountered. Waste from a variety of crops indicates that processing was taking place nearby while the pottery assemblage, including cooking pots, jugs and jars in both local and finewares, is suggestive of settlement in the immediate vicinity. Post-medieval ditches encountered within the Site correspond with now-removed field boundaries depicted on historic maps.
