Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
2017 Test Pit 7. One of ten test pits excavated in Southminster as part of the Access Cambridge Archaeology Project. The presence of both worked flints and burnt stone that were also recorded, hint at potentially a significant area of later prehistoric activity, although analysis of the lithics would be needed to confirm this.
