Summary. An archaeological evaluation (six trial-trenches) was undertaken on land east of Brook Road, Great Tey, Essex in advance of the construction of fifteen dwellings with associated garages, landscaping, services, access road and associated groundworks. Twenty-three features – nine pits, nine ditches, a gully, a pit/ditch terminus, two tree throws and a natural feature – were uncovered. Due to the scarcity of finds across the site only one feature could be dated definitely. It is highly likely, however, that the majority – if not all – of the deposits date to the Bronze Age.
