Trial trenching evaluation by Essex County Council Field Archaeological Group at Moverons Pit / Brightlingsea Quarry, Brightlingsea, 1996. - EEX43096

This evaluation comprised the opening of 19 trenches. The aim of the evaluation was to establish a broad chronology for the archaeological remains within the area of the proposed quarry, together with an assessment of their character, preservation and complexity. In particular the evaluation sought to determine whether any of the remains were of such singular importance that they warranted preservation in situ, or together formed a surviving multi-period landscape where their cumulative importance would merit a similar recommendation.
