Description
1983. Watching brief and archaeological excavations.
Cropmarks and other features excavated before the A13 dualling, east of the Orsett 'Cock' enclosure. Excavated features included some cropmarks already recorded (see EHER 1856-1862). A number of post-medieval field ditches were excavated. <1> <2> <3>

Note: Cropmarks of the field boundaries are recorded in EHER 5191. It is not possible to determine the precise location of the excavated stretches of field boundary during the 1983 excavation, and as a result the event mapping has been copied into this record to indicate the approximate location of the investigation.
