Description
The Essex survey was initiated in early 1979 to assess the evidence for the tradition of barrow construction in the county, and in order to complement the Norfolk and Suffolk surveys in producing a more complete regional study. Little work has been done on Essex barrows in the past and only twenty-seven mounds remain. However, aerial photography of cropmark features has revealed numerous ring-ditches of which over 1500 may be interpreted as ploughed-out round barrows.
