Prittlewell
Road and rail works in 1923 and 1930 also found Anglo-Saxon burials. Some of these must have been important people or warriors. The graves contained weapons, imported goods, jewellery and decorative beads, some of which were made out of glass. In 2003 a large and undisturbed 7th-century chamber tomb was found by archaeologists from Museum of London Archaeology. They were exploring the site for a new road widening project. In 2009, following local opposition, the project was stopped, and other roads were changed instead.
