NRHE data transfer:
Between March and May 1999, the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England carried out an archaeological field survey of the grazing marshes at Blue House Farm, North Fambridge, Essex. The survey was requested and part funded by the Planning Department of Essex County Council. The survey comprised fieldwalking to locate features of archaeological interest, followed by survey using a Wild TC 1610 electronic theodolite and EDM. The data captured was integrated with OS digital map files held under licence by Essex County Council. A full report with plans is in the NMR archive.
