Description
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out at Basin Road Bridge, Heybridge, Essex during groundworks in advance of the reconstruction of the existing bridge. The groundworks consisted of the construction of a temporary road, ditch and path diversion to the east of Basin Road and a temporary alteration to an existing ditch to the west. As topsoil stripping in advance of road and path construction was not deep enough to disturb any archaeological remains monitoring was limited to observation of the machine excavation of the new eastern ditch diversion.
NRHE data transfer:
Site code: HEYBB10. Monitoring of groundworks for a replacement bridge revealed a single Middle Iron Age pit south of Spicketts Brook as well as undated ditches. Information from OASIS Online Form.
