Description
Watching briefs and rescue excavations were carried out by ECC staff and Southend Museum staff upon new extensions to Baldwin's Farm Gravel Pit. The extensions were located in two areas. Area 1 was about three acres of marginal gravel deposit between old workings and the Barling Creek sea wall immediately to the south of Barling Hall. Area 2 was about ten acres of gravel from the first phase of a major new extension to the pit north and west of Barling Hall. Material was rapidly excavated under 'rescue' conditions and archaeological features were difficult to identify against the brickearth.
