Coalhouse Point: Archaeological Features in the Inter-Tidal Zone, East Tilbury, Essex: Survey Report
Author(s): Moraig Brown, Paul Pattison
In October 2000, English Heritage carried out survey and analysis of archaeological remains on the foreshore at Coalhouse Point, East Tilbury in Essex. The survey was requested following the observation of fragments of stonework on the mudflats of the River Thames, which were thought possibly to mark the location of a documented Henrician artillery blockhouse. No surface trace of the blockhouse was located. The investigation concluded that there is some archaeological potential for buried remains that may stretch back into the 18th century (see figures 13 and 21). Remains survived of a Second World War radar tower operated by the navy for the detection of submarines on the surface. (This was report 7/2003 in a previous series)
