Abstract: |
Two trial trenches were mechanically excavated. The work revealed an apparently extensive area of hard standing that perhaps represented a mid 15th- to mid 16th-century hard to aid the beaching of boats. A ditch or channel of similar date was also recorded. A possibly late 17th-century metalled roadway was later established on the postulated hard. Extensive overlying deposits represented successive operations, from perhaps the late 17th century onwards, to raise the ground surface, probably in response to flooding by the Benfleet Channel.
