Description
A watching brief was carried out during gravel extraction work at Sandford Quarry, Hatfield Peverel (see EEX56053) and identified two areas of surviving archaeological deposits. Area A was carefully stripped under archaeological supervision after which an evaluation was undertaken (this record) to establish the nature and date of the site. Area B had a series of strips cleaned by machine, following top-soil removal, to assess the extent and complexity of the archaeological deposits.
NRHE data transfer:
Evaluation undertaken on a site previously discovered by a watching brief (see UID 929290 for details of this earlier event). An enclosure or structure, rectangular in shape and with one semi-circular end and a single internal division near that end, was revealed. A later rectangular post-built structure with associated linear ditches was also investigated. The work was funded by Essex County Council.
