Summary. An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out on land south of Grove Hall, Blind Lane, Tolleshunt Knights, Essex, in advance of the construction of two agricultural buildings and an area of hardstanding. The site lies within a farmstead located to the south of the hall, which is a listed timber-framed building dating to the 17th century. Excavations revealed a post-medieval area of hardstanding and a ditch and pit dating to the medieval or post-medieval periods, all of which are likely associated with agricultural activity at the farm.
