The Archaeology of Ardleigh, Essex: Excavations 1955-1980
by N R Brown
When mechanical ploughing was introduced on Felix Eriths farm in the 1950s, fragments of Bronze Age pottery were brought to the surface. Wherever this occurred, Erith excavated, and in 1960 he published an account of his discoveries which clearly established the importance of the Ardleigh cemetery. The pottery, with its flamboyant decoration, became the classic Deverel-Rimbury ceramic of southern East Anglia. A prolonged campaign of aerial ...

Excavations of an Iron Age Settlement and Roman Religious Complex at Ivy Chimneys, Witham, Essex 1978-83
by Robin Turner
The site at Ivy Chimneys, Witham, appears to have been occupied continuously throughout the Iron Age, and remained in use until the end of the Roman period. Most traces of domestic Iron Age structures were removed by ploughing, but the surviving ditches seem to indicate more than a simple farmstead. Very large, probably defensive, ditches of late Iron Age date may imply that the settlement at Ivy Chimneys was a focus of activity at that time, and ...

EAA 86: Excavations at the Orsett 'Cock' Enclosure, Essex, 1976
The initial occupation of the site dates from the Middle Iron Age, represented by pottery and a single building. In the Late Iron Age an enclosure containing a small building was constructed. During the Conquest period a larger triple-ditched defensive enclosure with a central roundhouse was constructed to the south-east of the initial enclosure. The ditches were rapidly backfilled but the site continued in use as a farmstead until the late 3rd ...

The Origins and Early Development of Witham, Essex
by Warwick Rodwell
Witham Camp has often been equated with Edward the Elder's burh, but excavations since the 1930's have demonstrated it to be an Iron Age earthwork, in which a castle was planted in the 12th century; here also was the hundredal meeting place and focus of a royal manor. Next to the earthwork lies a minster church, early market site and a small planned settlement, and a short distance away the Knights Templar laid out a substantial new town ...

Excavation has been used on selected sites to date the cropmarks and place the site into an archaeological context. At Woodham Walter, limited excavation confirmed the postulated Iron Age and Romano-British date for the enclosures and also revealed earlier prehistoric ...
