Asheldham Camp (Plateau Fort) — Miscellaneous |
|
OK, not the most upstanding fort you'll ever see, having been much impacted over the years by gravel workings... however, well worth stopping off for a visit, seeing as this is a fine corner of Essex. In summary, Historic England reckons: "A slight univallate hillfort which lies roughly in the centre of the Dengie peninsular, on a plateau rather than a hilltop. The defences include a bank and external ditch, which as visible on the east & south of the enclosure as earthworks. Bronze Age and Iron Age. There is conjectural evidence (through finds) for reoccupation in the Roman period and in the early Anglo-Saxon period." |

Mill Mound, Tolleshunt Major (Round Barrow(s)) — Links |
The 'Mill Mound', Tolleshunt Major, EssexNow Essex doesn't have a great many round barrows still upstanding.... although upon viewing this - and its not too distant neighbour at Salcott-cum-Virley - one might be tempted to quote the old adage 'quality before quantity'? |
