Post-medieval finds assemblage, Barling Marsh Quarry (EHER 17544)

Finds in advance of gravel extraction included post-medieval tile, pottery, slag, flint.

1996. Fieldwalking survey. Finds included four pieces of post-medieval tile, one sherd of post-medieval pottery, three pieces of daub, two pieces of slag and single finds of burnt flint, modern pottery, briquetage, flint flakes and modern glass. The extreme scarcity of finds presumably reflects the fact that the land is reclaimed, and has not therefore attracted permanent settlement. <1> See also EHER 18051 on land immediately adjacent to the area surveyed, where post-medieval material was interpreted as indicative of an industrial site.
