It was at Nevendon in 2008 that a Neolithic settlement was discovered just north of the A127.  At least six houses were discovered of which two were of a Scandinavian type not often found.

​

The artefacts are currently being stored at Southend Museum.

​

Domesday records the name as 'Nezendena', Anglo Saxon for 'at the flat valley'.
