Field survey by M. Brown and P. Pattison (RCHME) at Tollesbury Wick Marsh, 1995 - EEX42228

In May 1995 the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England surveyed a number of sites on Tollesbury Wick Marsh, on the Blackwater estuary. The survey was carried out following a request from Essex County Council who are providing advice on the management of the marsh following its designation as a National Nature Reserve. The sites had never previously been surveyed, and were not recorded in the National Monuments Record, and the purpose of the survey was to accurately record the surviving features as a basis for further research. Surveys of individual sites were carried out at 1:500 scale using a Wild electronic theodolite with integral EDM, and a report and survey plans were produced to RCHME Level 3 standard specifications. An earthwork survey was also undertaken on three (EHER 16826-16828) of the seven sites visited. The seventh site was proven not to be of archaeological origin. Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import.
