Description
An aerial photograph survey carried out in response to an increase in the destruction of cropmark sites on the sand and gravel deposits of the Essex river valleys. With this in mind it was decided to survey the Chelmer-Blackwater Valley. It was recognised that this summer might provide the only opportunity to record new cropmark sites in this archaeologically rich river valley before their destruction. Due to poor weather, only two of the ten originally planned one-hour flights had been undertaken, and at the end of July, a dry spell permitted four two-hour flights to be carried out.
