Cropmarks of possible Bronze Age barrow cemetery and enclosure (EHER 47668)
Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Cropmarks of at least six ring ditches are visible on aerial photographs. These features are overlain by a small rectilinear enclosure. These may relate to other similar cropmarks recorded immediately to the east (EHER 47667) and further south (EHER 48036) and it is likely that together these comprise the remains of a Bronze Age barrow cemetery.
