Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned to carry out magnetometer survey in advance of a proposed development scheme at Stifford Clays Road, North Grays, Essex. An area of c 22.5ha was subject to detailed magnetometer survey. Survey of the two areas located likely archaeological features in the north of Field 1. The local geology of river terrace sands and gravels was very well detected in both areas, particularly Field 2. An east - west ditch apparently cuts a chord across the north of the area in which a long sub-rectangular enclosure is intersected by an irregular ditch around which pits and a possible activity area was located. Further enclosures were identified to the north and west and a line of pits aligns west - east, apparently as a northern limit to the archaeology. Land divisions 18th and 19th centuries were reconstructed in Field 2. |
