About 12 to 15 test pits will be dug, mostly in gardens, on Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th June. St Michael’s church halls will be used as the excavation base camp by the students already selected from Southend schools.

As part of our current All Our Stories Project, Hadleigh & Thundersley Community Archive has been asked by Carenza Lewis of Cambridge Archaeology to co-ordinate arranging sites for 10 to 15, 1 metre by 1 metre, test pits; mostly in Daws Heath gardens.
