Abstract:		 Four trenches were mechanically excavated under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist. T1, T2, and T3 were 30m long and 1.8m wide and T4 was 21m long and 1.8m wide. Excavation of 4 window sample borehole were observed by a CAT archaeologist. Archaeological evaluation was carried out on land north-west of Montpelier Villa, Little Waltham, Essex in advance of the construction of ten new dwellings. There are several nearby archaeological sites including a Roman settlement to the south-east and a multiperiod settlement and scheduled monument to the north. A total of 15 features were identified during this evaluation; seven pits, seven ditches and a gully. The finds recovered revealed the site is located within the vicinity of a settlement, perhaps related to the Roman settlement to the south-east. The fired-clay fragments perhaps indicating the presence of a wattle and daub structure. A small quantity of finds, including a shard of polychrome glass, possibly point to a higher status inhabitant. Four Window sample bore-holes were also observed, two of which contained material from a potential archaeological horizon.
