Pincey Brook

Pincey Brook is a watercourse in the Uttlesford and Epping Forest districts of Essex, England, and is a tributary to the River Stort.

Pincey Brook rises at the south-east edge of London Stansted Airport, just north from the A120 road, and in the civil parish of Takeley.

From here the Brook becomes the boundary between Sheering and the Essex town of Harlow at Elim Meadows, until it flows into the River Stort at a triangulation with Sawbridgeworth parish in Hertfordshire.

[1][2][3][4][5] Between 1999 and 2003, during Stansted Airport expansion, evidence was found of Middle Bronze Age settlement close to Pincey Brook.

[7] In 2013, a study was reported in the journal Limnologica - Ecology and Management of Inland Waters, concerning the probability of the incipient invasiveness of signal crayfish within the River Stort catchment area, including Pincey Brook.
