Description
The third year of test pitting in Southminster was undertaken in May 2017 where an additional 10 test pits were excavated by 38 students from three local secondary schools, as part of the Independent Learning Archaeology Field School (ILAF), run by Access Cambridge Archaeology (ACA). This brought the total test pits so far excavated in the town to 32. The 2017 sites were sited centrally through the town, including sites at the allotments, the care home and along the edges of the King George V playing field as well as in residential gardens.
