Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East were commissioned by Mrs. Lindsey Wislocki to carry out an archaeological evaluation of land at 74 High Street, Benfleet, Essex. One trial trench was mechanically excavated. The work revealed remains from two broad periods: Roman and post-medieval. The Roman remains comprised a small quantity of residual pottery and CBM within post-medieval contexts, while the earliest post-medieval remains consisted of a similarly small quantity of 16th- to 17th-century pottery and CBM within apparently naturally deposited alluvium. A possible mooring station, comprising three large timbers extended up to 1.4m into the underlying alluvium and was perhaps also post-medieval in origin (pending the results of the dendrochronological analysis). A 19th-century brick building was also recorded on the site. |
