Description
The excavation started on September 3rd and was spread over about a fortnight, occupied no more than three or four actual working clays. The mound stands just to the north of the road from Chadwell to the Cock Inn, in Orsett; about 100 yards north-west from Biggen Heath Cottage and about half-a-mile south-south-west from Seaborough Hall. Excavation began by cutting a trench, some four feet wide, from the southernmost edge of the mound to what we took to have been originally its centre.
