Abstract:		 Monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of a windfarm recorded the presence and exposure of significant archaeological remains relating to ancient salt production. Sites like these are commonly referred to as 'red hills', due to the characteristic presence of low mounds of heat-reddened earth at these sites. The location of one of the wind turbines had already been moved due to the detection of a large saltern or red hill site during preliminary geophysical survey work. However, the revised location also contained the remains of a less substantial saltern a short distance to the northeast, buried under thick deposits of marsh clay and topsoil. This c.20m diameter mound of burnt earth was found to both overlie and be cut by a number of distinctive hearth, tank and gully features that are indicative of salt production by means of salt water evaporation. Both the red earth deposits and cut features contained fragments of briquetage vessels and furniture associated with and generated by this activity. This saltern and red hill site is judged to be of late 1st century BC/early 1st century AD date and is one of the most extensively investigated sites of its type along the northeast Essex coast.
