Description

In January 1968 a brief rescue excavation was undertaken by the staff of Southend Museum and the present writer on a portion of "Red Hill" XII which was due to be destroyed in the construction of an access road to the sea wall. The aim was to examine the southern side of the site, which was not accessible at the time of the 1964 excavations.
