Description
Linear features, field boundaries and trackways running North to South, pits, all masked by periglacial features. <1> - <8>
A small area of the site was excavated for the east Clacton reservoir in 2007. The excavation of seven trial-trenches revealed four ditches, two pits and four natural features. Although the features are undated, the fills and alignment of the ditches suggest a post-medieval or modern origin. <9>
