Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
An evaluation in a field where a complex of crop marks has been recorded (EHER 2613) was carried out. Two trenches were opened, one of which produced a single small edge retouched flint flake, datable only generally to the prehistoric period. Other flakes were found in the topsoil during and prior to the evaluation and would suggest archaeological activity in the area. No features relating to crop marks recorded in aerial photographs were identified.
