Summary. An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out on land at Great Bentley Primary School, Great Bentley, Essex in advance of a new extension. The site is located within the proximity of several previous archaeological investigations, including excavations that uncovered evidence of prehistoric agricultural landscape north-west of the area. However, the evaluation revealed only two modern tree-throws and the remains of a hedgerow.
