Description
By 1970, much of the northern part of the Romano-British 'small town' at Heybridge had been developed for housing, a process which began early this
century. In 1971, proposals to develop a further area, to the south of Crescent Road, prompted the Essex Archaeological Society to organize a trial excavation.
