Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken over the remaining undisturbed 7.7ha portion of a proposed development area (DA) at South Essex College in Thurrock. The thirty one trenches excavated identified two former field boundaries, and within one trench to the north of the site a fire-base or hearth-type feature of probable Iron Age date containing pottery, grain and charcoal. This prehistoric feature was sealed beneath a soil horizon which extended across the north-eastern half of the site. This horizon was not observed in the western part of the DA and is likely to have been subsequently truncated through modern landscaping. |
