Description

Finds accession no: 1977.143. Site archive to go to Chelmsford & Essex Museum. A trench 0.95 m wide, 26 m long was excavated mechanically to test the south side of the enclosure, since its line on this side was uncertain from the air photograph. In addition, features were observed in bridging works over a gas pipe in the southern corner of the field.
