Summary. An archaeological evaluation (three trial-trenches) was carried out on land to the rear of Brimpton House, 59a High Street, Kelvedon, Essex, in advance of the construction of two bungalows. The site lies within a known area of Iron Age settlement, and in the midst of extensive Roman remains, including the purported site of an early Roman fort. Despite lying in an archaeologically-sensitive area, however, only two modern pits were uncovered.
