Description

Excavations in the back garden of 20 Spital Road prior to landscaping sought to investigate an earthwork thought to be the Anglo Saxon burh of Maldon (7766). Originally, two trenches were planned to give a complete cross-section of the bank but owing to the time expended on the first lower trench and the evidence it produced the second was not excavated.
