Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A large undated feature was excavated at the South of the extensive monitored route, whose size within the confines of the excavated area made it difficult to assess whether it was a ditch or large pit. No dating evidence was retrieved but it is noted that it lies to the South of an area of known Bronze Age and Iron Age cropmarks (EHER 16031).
