Description
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2017 on land east of Halstead Road, Kirby Cross, Essex.
A total of 84 trenches was excavated. The evaluation identified a single feature (ditch) of Late prehistoric date.
Ditch 4806 contained pottery dating to the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age and a number of worked flints (only broadly datable to the prehistoric period and generally
suffering edge damage) were recovered as residual finds from the fills of later features. <1>
