Abstract:
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during groundworks associated with a short stretch of the Basildon-West Horndon-Cranham power line located to the north-east of Tillingham Hall The groundworks revealed one ditch dating to the late Bronze Age, as well as four modern ditches and a layer associated with two rectangular enclosures visible as cropmarks. Though similarly aligned to that of the modern ditches, the late Bronze Age ditch contained markedly different fills. It only contained one small pottery sherd; however, seven similarly dated sherds from the overlying layer suggest there may be further activity of this date in the vicinity. Whether the ditch is related to a settlement or a wider field system is unclear due to the limited amount revealed during the groundworks. Four additional ditches were revealed that correspond with the boundaries of the two enclosures visible as cropmarks. A subsoil layer was also present within the eastern enclosure corresponding with a visibly raised rectangular area of ground. Artefacts recovered indicate both enclosures are modern (post-1750) in date, although unlike the eastern enclosure, the western enclosure is not depicted on the 1863 OS map suggesting it had been backfilled by this time.
