Summary. An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out at Avonleigh House, Clacton Road, Elmstead Market, Essex, in advance of the construction of five dwellings with associated parking facilities. The site lies in the midst of a number of cropmark complexes and lies to the north of the Roman road leading to Colchester. Despite being located in an archaeologically-sensitive area, however, no significant remains were encountered.
