Digital Archive from Archaeological Evaluation and Monitoring Work at The Bull Public House, London Road, Pitsea, 2016

This collection comprises image, text, spreadsheet and CAD data from Archaeological Evaluation and Monitoring work at The Bull Public House, London Road, Pitsea. The work was undertaken by Archaeology South-East between February and April 2016. Six trial trenches were excavated across the circa 6000 square metre development area followed by two phases of monitoring. The earliest remains consisted of a small 13th/14th century gully and evidence for continuing 15th, 18th and 19th century activities were also found. Documentary evidence indicates that there was a public house on site from at least 1828-9. The majority of the recovered pottery assemblage dates to the 18th century and could suggest that the building depicted in 1777 was also in use as an inn or tavern.
