Summary. An archaeological evaluation (eight trial-trenches) was carried out on land to the north of Meadow Close, Elmstead Market in advance of the construction of a residential development. Located close to a number of cropmarks, the only features identified were a historic boundary ditch visible on the first edition, 6-inch, OS map of 1874 and an undated pit or tree-throw.
