Biosolids Dryer Tilbury Essex

Between November 2005 and March 2006 Oxford Archaeology (OA)
carried out an Archaeological Watching Brief at Anglian Water’s water
treatment works, Tilbury, Essex at the site of their Biosolids Dryer project
(NGR TQ 6600 7570). The work was commissioned by Atkins Heritage on
behalf of Anglian Water in advance of the construction of a Biosolids
Dryer. The Watching Brief revealed made ground on top of a peat layer
and alluvial deposits. Archaeological features were encountered. These
consisted of the remains of wall foundations and fence posts, most
probably associated with the farm that occupied this site prior to the
construction of the water treatment works.
