Summary. An archaeological evaluation (three trial-trenches) was carried out on land east of St Clere's Hall Cottages and St Cleres Hall Lane, St Cleres Hall Lane, St Osyth, Essex, in advance of the construction of a new dwelling. The site lies to the south-west of a site where an Early Neolithic causewayed enclosure, Bronze Age barrows, a Middle Iron Age settlement and further remains dating to the Roman, Saxon and medieval periods have been excavated. Despite lying in an archaeologically-sensitive area, however, no archaeological remains were encountered.
