Description
July 2024. Trial trenching.
Despite heavy truncation from tree removal and vehicle movements across the site, a single ditch corresponding to the location of a boundary on the 1847 Pitsea tithe map was recorded across three trenches in the north of the site. A single tile fragment and a cattle humerus were recovered from the fill of this ditch. <1>
