| Summary : A series of Iron Age round houses, small subrectangular ditched enclosures and associated features at Mucking, excavated during the 1965-78 investigations of the cropmark complex there (see TQ 68 SE 16). The features were located at the southwestern end of the cropmark area, and one of the ditched enclosures had been truncated by a road. In the late Roman period, one of the enclosures was re-used as a cemetery. The number of burials is unclear, and varies between interim reports, but the most recent summary mentions "60 or so inhumation burials". Close dating of the cemetery was hampered by a general lack of grave goods. Neither the Iron Age nor the Roman aspects of the Mucking excavations have yet been published in full. See TQ 68 SE 16 and associated monuments for further details and additional sources relating to the complex. |
