Description
Archaeological survey by Moraig Brown and Paul Pattison. In February and March 1997 the RCHME Cambridge Archaeological Field Survey section undertook a survey of the 19th and 20th century coastal artillery fort at Beacon Hill, Harwich. The survey was requested and supported financially by Essex County Council and Tendring District Council and involved a full topographical survey to RCHME Archaeology level 3, at 1:500 scale. Larger plans, at 1:100 scale, were made of several individual gun emplacements and buildings. The survey was conducted using a Wild TC1610 theodolite and EDM supplemented by conventional graphic survey from taped measurement. The survey was supported by selective ground photography and documentary research in the PRO at Kew. A full analytical report is available in the NMR archive.
