NRHE data transfer:
This report describes a geophysical survey which has been undertaken as part of an archaeological field evaluation of the site of a proposed solar farm at Wick Farm (eastern plot) AT Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. The survey has detected subsurface features and disturbances which appear to relate mainly to historic field boundaries and related drainage systems. There are localised magnetic anomalies which could be consistent with the presence of debris associated with nearby ancient salt making activity in parts of the site, but this cannot be confirmed on the basis of the survey evidence alone. Information from OASIS Online Form.
