Description
In early 1995 the Rochford Hundred Field Archaeology Group (RHFAG) initiated a full landscape survey of Canvey Island, commencing with an extensive fieldwalking programme in parallel with an in-depth study of old maps and other documentation held by local record offices in Chelmsford and Southend. As a result it was decided to carry out a limited excavation at the site of an abandoned homestead - Pantile Farm - in order to test the theory that the farm, in company with numerous other abandoned farms scattered over the island, might have been built on a red hill promontory.
