Undated possible linear and circles features at Canvey Island Southern Shoreline, Canvey Island (EHER 81090)

Areas of high conductivity were identified running across the survey area. A number of these anomalies align with extant sea defences within and along the border of the survey areas.

August and November 2022. Geophysical survey. No identifiable archaeological features were identified resulting from the fluxgate gradiometer survey. However, magnetic disturbance and anomalies of undetermined origins were detected. No identifiable archaeological features were identified resulting from the electromagnetic survey also, however subcircular anomalies of uncertain origin were detected. Although a natural or modern origin is likely, an archaeological origin cannot be ruled out. Areas of high conductivity were identified running across the survey area. A number of these anomalies align with extant sea defences within and along the border of the survey areas. Largely linear anomalies located within the centre of the survey areas may identify the buried bases of the northern revetments and amorphous anomalies located along the sea front may be indicative of natural variations resulting from altered levels of seawater ingress. However, archaeological and modern origins cannot be completely ruled out. <1>
