Summary. An evaluation by eight trenches has revealed an absence of archaeologically significant features or remains on the site of a proposed development of seven houses and accompanying infrastructure on land at 1 and 2 Broadfield Villas, Dunmow Road, Takeley, Essex. The finds from the evaluation, which include glass, pottery and china, are all post-medieval or modern with the exception of one anomalous sherd of Roman pottery. There is no apparent reason why the development should be impeded by issues of an archaeological nature.
