An archaeological watching brief and recording at Brightlingsea Quarry, Moverons Lane, Brightlingsea, Essex: June-July 2004

An area of approximately 19,600 square metres was stripped in the North Field at Brightlingsea Quarry in Essex. A total of five ditches (two containing pottery dated to the very early/early Iron Age), one post-medieval pit and four modern features were recorded. The ditches appear to relate to the Neolithic and later Iron Age/Roman rectilinear field system laid out over the entire area (previously excavated by CAT in 2002 and 2003).
