During the search for the burh several areas investigated did not produce any evidence of ancient earthworks thus providing useful 'blanks' on the plans. |

Comment
As part of the Burh Research project pupils of the Plume School delivered questionnaires to all houses in Beeleigh Rd., London Rd. and Chases, Wellington Road, Gate St. and the north side of Spital Road as far as St. Peter's Hospital. The general reaction was one of interest and co-operation and replies provided some useful comments, such as the one above. |

Mike Eddy's Survey in Spital Road
A narrow strip of land between NO.2 and No.4 Spital Road exhibits a shallow double ditch profile. This was noticed and recorded by Mike Eddy in 1982. |

Paul Drury's and Nicholas Wickenden's Plan
The publication of 'An Early Saxon Settlement within the Romano-British Small Town at Heybridge' (Medieval Archaeology vol xxiv, 1982) included the burh on a plan. Its shape and location match our own evidence much more closely than earlier conjectures. |
