NRHE data transfer:
During September 1999, archaeological field investigators from English Heritage (Cambridge, Brooklands) carried out archaeological field survey on Old Hall Marshes in Essex, which is managed as a bird reserve by the RSPB. The survey was carried out following a request by Essex County Council and the RSPB to help with the management of the reserve. Survey work consisted of a full ground reconnaissance to locate all visible sites of archaeological interest, a topographical survey at 1:2500 scale showing all archaeological features and selected survey of sites of particular importance at the larger scale of 1:1000. Hard detail and most features were surveyed using a Wild TC1610 Electronic Theodolite with integral EDM, selected areas and detail was supplied using taped measurements and normal graphical methods. A written report and plans in the NMR archive provide descriptions and depictions of all archaeological features together with an overview of the history of the marsh and observations concerning any future fieldwork .
