Summary. An archaeological evaluation (four trial-trenches) was carried out on land north of Michael Wright Way, Admirals Green, Great Bentley, Essex in advance of the construction of a new mixed-used building. Cropmarks surround the development site with nearby archaeological investigations revealing Bronze Age, Iron Age and Late Iron Age/early Roman occupation evidence. The evaluation revealed a small concentration of seven features (one pit, four treethrows and two ditches), most undated with one producing two later prehistoric worked flints and another a sherd of Roman grey ware pottery.
