Archaeological excavation by Essex County Council Field Archaeology Group on land to the rear of 39-45 Crescent Road, Heybridge, 2002 - EEX62009

An archaeological excavation at 39-45 Crescent Road. The development area was stripped of topsoil using a mechanical excavator fitted with a flat-bladed bucket in October 2001. The area was surveyed and a plan of all recognised features was prepared. A hiatus in the development schedule led to the archaeological excavation being delayed until August 2002, with the area remaining open during the intervening time. The site required manual cleaning of subsequent weed growth prior to excavation by hand.
