Description

An archaeological strip, map and excavate was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust in March 2019 on land off London Road, Great Horkesley, in advance of groundworks for the installation of a new electricity sub-station and Flogas tanks. Two small areas, 42 square metres (tanks) and 0.88 square metres (sub-station), were mechanically excavated under archaeological supervision through ploughsoil (L1, c.0.45m thick) onto natural sand and gravels (L2). A modern service trench, aligned NW to SE, crossed both excavation areas. No archaeological remains were defined.<1>
