Key Points

The aim was to conduct post-excavation assessment and further targeted excavations at the Phase II site in Mistley, Essex.
Five excavation areas (A-E) were identified and investigated based on prior evaluation results.
Excavation of Area A focused on uncovering a round barrow and associated features, while other areas were reduced in size for further investigation.
Features included Bronze Age barrows, cremation burials, and Late Iron Age ditches.
In Area A, a large barrow dating to the late Early Bronze Age - early Middle Bronze Age contained two cremation burials.
Limited findings in Areas C, D, and E led to a reduction in excavation size for these areas.
Area B revealed prehistoric ditches and pits, while Area C uncovered a boundary ditch with Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age pottery.
