A few of the other sites we have worked on over the last 40 years.

Boucherne's Farm
In 1983-84, MAHG carried out excavations at Boucherne's Farm. You can download a copy of MAHG's report here.

Bicknacre Priory
In 2012, MAHG carried out excavations at Bicknacre Priory. You can download a copy of MAHG's report here.

Burnham Wick Farm
In 2006, MAHG investigated an area of land where crop marks suggested possible archaeological features. The investigations suggested the existence of an Iron Age enclosure. You can download a copy of MAHG's report here.

Coggeshall Abbey
MAHG was invited to carry out a resistivity survey to seek to confirm the position and foundation lines of the Abbey church that formed a part of the 12th century Cistercian Abbey. The survey data clearly demonstrated the outline of the Abbey church foundations.
Edwins Hall
A Tudor house where MAHG was asked to find a lost wing. Foundations of a Tudor wing were uncovered, and also foundations of an earlier structure which were discovered underneath. We believe this earlier structure to be the foundations of an early Manor House. You can download a copy of MAHG's report here.
In 1987, MAHG discovered the first direct evidence of Early Iron Age settlement at the top of Maldon's hill.

Elmcroft Development
Hazeleigh Hall Wood
In late 2024 MAHG was invited to investigate a linear bank feature that runs south to north within the western area of Hazeleigh Hall Wood. We concluded that this man-made bank is likely to have been a boundary enclosure, although its exact nature is uncertain.
Heybridge
Prior to a large housing estate being built the remains of a small Romano British town were discovered.
Due to its national importance a large professional excavation took place and MAHG was able to help with excavating and finds processing, such as pot washing.

Lofts Farm
An area north of Heybridge selected for grave extract was known to contain a number of crop marks.
In the late 1970s, MAHG excavated and uncovered a Bronze Age enclosure, and Iron Age settlement and a medieval moat.

Maldon Southern Bypass
When soil was removed prior to a road and housing development in the west of Maldon, MAHG's founder noticed Roman pottery on the surface. Â Iron Age and Romano British settlements were revealed and our excavation unearthed a large amount of potsherds dating from 500 BC to 200 AD.
During the 1990s, MAHG investigated an area around Nipsells Farm, looking for evidence of a Roman settlement.
Although no conclusive proof was found, the existence of a settlement seemed more likely than not.

Nipsells Farm
Ulting, Church of All Saints
Between 2007 and 2010, MAHG searched for evidence of a chapel at the site of All Saints' Church, Ulting, and found some evidence of a structure on the site. Download a copy of the MAHG report here.
