Undated probable settlement, proposed Bradwell B Nuclear Power Station site (EHER 81781)

Geophysical survey in 2020 recorded linear anomalies forming fields/ enclosures throughout the survey area. Two areas where the pattern is clear enough to be confident of a probable (red) rather than a possible archaeological interpretation were located (see also EHER 81782). One of these was located in the NE of Field 28, where much smaller and circular enclosures may be indicative of settlement.

September 2020. Geophysical survey. Across much of the survey area linear anomalies forming fields/ enclosures are identified although these are of uncertain date and are not recorded on historic mapping. Two areas where the pattern is clear enough to be confident of a probable (red) rather than a possible archaeological interpretation were located (see also EHER 81782). One of these was located in the NE of Field 28, where much smaller and circular enclosures are identified. This area represents either a different style of enclosure to that seen on the rest of the site and may be indicative of settlement activity although this interpretation should be viewed as tentative. <1>
