Abstract
Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological excavation within Site 9 at Beaulieu, Chelmsford (TL 7323 0987). The fieldwork took place between the 10th May and 5th June 2015.
The earliest phase of settlement on site comprises several Late Bronze Age pits which were part of a dispersed settlement. A possible trackway was encountered in the western part of the excavation area, however, this is only datable as being earlier than the Middle Iron Age but is assumed to belong to the Bronze Age.
In the Middle Iron Age an enclosed settlement was established comprising two roundhouses and associated pits. The remains of three cremations were encountered which were associated with this settlement. In the Late Iron Age / Early Roman period the settlement was briefly extended towards the west by the creation of a series of small sub-rectangular fields.
