Summary. An archaeological evaluation was carried out at Bush House Yard, 294 Ongar Road, Writtle, Chelmsford, in advance of the construction of six new dwellings with associated works. The development site is located within the former post-medieval farmstead of Bush Farm dating from 1549. Modern disturbance was recorded across the evaluation trenches with modern layers sealing natural clay. No trace of Bush Farm was identified and no significant archaeological horizons were recorded.
