Summary. Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out on land to the rear of Tillbrooks Garage, High Street, Wethersfield, Essex during groundworks for the construction of two new dwellings. The site is located in the centre of the historic medieval settlement, and groundworks exposed two red-brick wall foundations and a red-brick soakaway of post-medieval/modern or modern date. These are likely to have been associated with a range of buildings shown on the 1896 OS map fronting onto the High Street and continuing on a SE/NW alignment into the development site.
