Summary. An archaeological strip, map and excavate was carried out at Park 2 Badley Hall Farm, Badley Hall Road, Great Bromley, Essex during groundworks for the construction of a new housing estate. Located in an area surrounded by cropmarks, archaeological evaluation in 2017 revealed a medieval pit and ditch and five undated features. Excavation revealed a further nine medieval features (seven pits and two ditches) concentrated in the northwest corner of the site which contained finds dating from the 12th to the 14th centuries. There was also three post-medieval pits, a modern pit and posthole and five undated features (a possible ditch and four pits/tree-throws).
