Thanks for that, very interesting. The Crouch Vale has a lot to offer, only a cursory walk at low tide will net you flints, pottery etc., that bronze age cache found last Oct was less than a mile from the rivers edge. Surely there must be physical evidence of neolithic settlement by the river.

Could be Mart.

Be good to meet up sometime – we’re planning another visit to St Peter’s before long – will let you know when. Also, forgot to say, but there’s a lovely puddingstone outside the old main entrance to Chelmsford Museum. The museum has a gallery dedicated to the Neolithic, with some spectacular hand axes on show (one a beautiful jadeite axe from central Europe) as well as information on the Chelmer (Springfield) Cursus. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.
