Martell's Quarry, Ardleigh
Small-scale excavations were carried out following the topsoil removal on six 60m x 60m areas and one 100 m x 20m area in advance of sand and gravel quarrying, with a later phase excavating 64 trial trenches revealed archaeological features representing a multi-phase landscape. These features included ditches, pits, postholes, a possible hearth and a single cremation. Undiagnostic prehistoric, Bronze Age and Roman material was recovered from most of the features during the evaluation and excavation phases of this project.
