Summary. An archaeological evaluation (three trial-trenches) was carried out on land between Little Woodrolfe and Woodrolfe Farm, Woodrolfe Farm Lane, Tollesbury, Essex in advance of the construction of a new detached dwelling with detached garage. Despite being located on a historic route linking the Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval settlement of Tollesbury with Woodrolfe Creek and the marshes, and close to evidence for the Late Iron Age/Roman salt industry, there were no archaeological remains.
