Archaeological trial-trenching evaluation on land adjacent to Broad Street Green Road, Heybridge, Essex (Phase III) – November 2013

This site lies on the northern edge of Heybridge and 800m west of the extensive area of cropmarks which includes the Lofts Farm Bronze Age enclosure excavated in 1984-5.
Three evaluation trenches (total length 30m) were positioned within the footprint of two new dwellings, and along an associated access road. Archaeological features revealed included the foundations of a farm cottage demolished in the mid 1960s, as well as two small modern rubbish pits which were probably associated with the demolished cottage.
