Field survey by RCHME at Beaumont Quay, 1996 - EEX52766

Survey of Quay and surrounding archaeology. NRHE data transfer: In April and May 1996, the Cambridge office of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England carried out archaeological, architectural and photographic surveys and investigation at Beaumont Quay. The survey of the 19th century quay, store building and limekiln, together with a wrecked spritsail barge called the `Rose' was carried out following a request from Essex County Council Planning Dept. and was intended to assist in management of the site. The survey was carried out using a Wild TC 1610 theodolite with integral EDM to establish OS detail and most of the archaeological features. Details were infilled with tapes using normal graphical methods. The store building and lime kiln were recorded using a Sokkisha Set 4 total station in combination with taped measurements. The final survey plans, at 1:1000 and 1:100 scales, can be found in the NMR archive together with a full report at RCHME Level 3.
