Abstract: |
A 0.74ha area was excavated toward the eastern side of Southend Airport, ahead of the construction of a new terminal building and its associated aircraft apron. Previous evaluation of the site and other investigations in the immediate vicinity had established the presence of prehistoric remains. Parts of a probably later Bronze Age ditched enclosure system was recorded. A range of small pits and/or post-holes, of probably similar date, were also found. A number of pits contained charcoal-rich fills. A pair of oval pits contained significant worked flint assemblages comprising hammerstones and debitage. Post-medieval land division and 20th century airfield remains were also encountered. |
