Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during repair works to the rear of the sea wall immediately north of the remains of the Roman 'Saxon Shore' fort of Othona at Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex. A single L-shaped trench was monitored for approximately 22m. Although the works were located within approximately 20m of the fort, no stratified remains of Roman date were identified nor any associated with the later use of the fort as a monastic site in the mid to late Saxon period. Finds consisted of a small collection of residual Roman brick and tile recovered from the topsoil and subsoil and abraded tile recovered from a sand deposit at the base of the trench. The only other recovered find was a fired cartridge case of a calibre used in U.S. service small arms in World War 2. |
