Summary.
An archaeological evaluation (ten trial-trenches) was carried out on land adjacent to Armoury
Road, West Bergholt, Essex in advance of a new residential development. Located within
Bergholt Heath and surrounded by cropmarks, evaluation revealed three post-medieval ditches
and a grubbed-out hedgerow, all probably associated with old field boundaries. Also excavated
were three undated pits and a post-medieval/ modern tree-throw.
