Description
On 4th October 1978 heavy machinery was noted operating on the site of the Red Hill field, Maldon, excavated in 1971 (EEX25035) and 1972 (EEX25046). The work was related to the installation of a new sewer for Maldon, and much of the work had been completed prior to the arrival of the archaeologist. A large bank of upcast material stretching right across the field to the far boundary parallel with the road and some 15m from it was noted. At the foot, between the bank and the road, was the recently filled-in sewer trench with a very large, deep hole near the western end.
