Type and Period
Description
March 2003. Archaeological excavation.
The earliest actual feature was a curving gully tentatively dated to the Roman period on a single sherd of pottery. Further pottery and tile was found residual in later features and it is likely, given the proximity to the small Roman town at Heybridge, that there is agricultural activity and possibly rural settlement in the area. <1> <2>
