Location : Essex Tendring Alresford
Grid Ref : TM0640020100
Summary : Beaker found in a gravel pit, possibly associated with a barrow.
More information : TM 064201. In June 1942 Miss A Pilkington found a beaker, 70 yds north west of Bench Mark 74.8 and 560 yds slightly west of south from Alresford Church. The beaker was found about 5 ft down in the face of a gravel pit. No mound had been observed there but a circular crop mark had been noted. In 1922 Laver had noted a ploughed down barrow some 18 inches high in this field. There can be no doubt about the site which is recognisation from his sketch map. It was 200 yds from the road and 20 yds south of the track into the field. (1-3)
