SEX37458 - On Two Large Groups of Marsh-Mounds on the Essex Coast

Abstract/Summary

Description

Note accompanying the write-up in Transactions of the Essex Archaeological Society reads: The following article by Messrs Miller Christy and W.H. Dalton is the outcome of, and incorporates two reports on, an Investigation undertaken by the Morant Club as long ago as the spring of 1913, when certain excavations in the group of mounds on the marshes near Hull Bridge were undertaken by the Club . The preliminary arrangements for this work were made by ourselves and Mr. W.H. Rand, then of Rayleigh. The work itself was also in part superintended by ourselves, but in its later stages by Mr. S. Hazzledine Warren, F.G.S., by whose wide experience in such work, the Club so often benefited. For permission to open the mounds, the Club was indebted to Mr. Reginald Hollington, of Great Hayes. Stow Maries, the owner of the soil. The results, which were fairly conclusive, are set forth and discussed by Messrs. Dalton, Christy, and Reader, in the following article, which would have been published long since, but for the confusion caused by the war. It is now published posthumously; for the Morant Club itself has recently ceased to exist.
