A quiet, hidden location. Has got smaller since development has happened round it.
Serene and beautiful
I excavated the archaeology on the site next to this in 2011, where the new buildings are. Really cool to see the remains of this Bronze Age village still visible. Shame about some of the rubbish that has accumulated though.
A beautiful hidden spot surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a modern city this ancient site is a refreshing place to be. Don't expect "facilities" tour parties and such, there's the earthworks that would have surrounded the settlement smoothed by the centuries, some evidence of the Archeological diggings of both this and the adjacent Anglo Saxon burial site and little else. The rabbits keep the grass under control, but the ways in - which are not very "official" in nature - tend to get overgrown as the year progresses.
This is a delightful and secluded oasis of peace, quiet, wildlife and an ancient Bronze Age enclosure gradually being encroached upon by the surrounding industrial estates. Well worth a visit and moreso, protection! Owned by Essex County Council, there is a threat that the land might be used for further development. This must not happen!
