About

Historic England awarded a contract to the University of Winchester for an auger survey of a scheduled Henrician blockhouse and artillery fort and associated intertidal foreshore features at East Mersea, Essex.

The site is threatened by coastal erosion, and the survey aimed to provide data for informed decisions on excavation targets as part of a broader investigation programme, creating a permanent enhanced understanding and record before loss.

The foreshore is known for Pleistocene deposits, including the Ipswichian Interglacial Hippo Site, and any evidence of other periods was to be recorded.

The contract value was £15,199.09.
