Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Four pottery sherds dating to the late medieval to post-medieval period and five peg tile fragments were discovered in 1989 to 1990 during fieldwalking and watching briefs. Due to the isolated position of Little Canfield church a deserted medieval village is suspected in the area (see EHER 4588). No evidence of medieval occupation was found during the pipeline construction.
