Summary. An archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching was carried out on land at Brick Kiln Lane, Bran End, Stebbing in advance of the construction of five new dwellings. The development site was located close to 16th-19th century listed buildings and may include occupation evidence. A medieval pit and ditch were excavated in trench T5 at the southeast end of the site, with the ditch possibly forming part of a field boundary. Two post-medieval pits and a number of modern features were excavated in trenches T1-T2 at the northwest end of the site.
