Summary. An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out on land to the south of Tudhope Farm, Whiteditch Lane, Newport, Essex in advance construction of two new dwellings. The development site lies in proximity to the medieval town of Newport and possibly a castle which once stood in the vicinity, as well as a medieval leper hospital and two sites of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age activity. A single modern pit was uncovered during the excavation.
