SEX75078 - Archaeological Evaluation Report at Land South of Tyefields, Pitsea, Basildon, Essex

Between 1st and 5th July 2024 Oxford Archaeology carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation ahead of a residential redevelopment of land south of Tyfields, Pitsea, Essex. A total of eight trenches were excavated across the site. Despite heavy truncation from tree removal and vehicle movements across the site, a single ditch corresponding to the location of a boundary on the 1847 Pitsea tithe map was recorded across three trenches in the north of the site. A single tile fragment and a cattle humerus were recovered from the fill of this ditch.
