The guide will describe how the site was the home of an important Chelmsford leader towards the end of the Bronze Age while being part of a Stonehenge-like ritual landscape which included a mortuary enclosure\, Neolithic enclosure and nationally-important cursus monument\, all now lost. Visitors will be taken on a tour inside the Bronze Age enclosure\, teaching them why it was built and what life was like for the inhabitants\, before showing them the archaeological pits left from the excavation of the adjacent Anglo-Saxon cemetery. \n \nThere are 3 tour times on 12th\, 13th\, 19th and 20th of September\, each tour lasts for an hour and is hosted by historian Alex Marshall. \nSaturday 12th:\n10am: eventbrite.co.uk\n1pm: eventbrite.co.uk\n3pm: eventbrite.co.uk \nSunday 13th:\n10am: eventbrite.co.uk\n1pm: eventbrite.co.uk\n3pm: eventbrite.co.uk\n \nSaturday 19th:\n10am: eventbrite.co.uk\n1pm: eventbrite.co.uk\n3pm: eventbrite.co.uk \nSunday 20th:\n10am: eventbrite.co.uk\n1pm: eventbrite.co.uk\n3pm: eventbrite.co.uk \n \nThere will be a virtual tour film available via Chelmsford Civic Society YouTube channel for those unable to attend. \n \nCovid-19 Requirements \nFor the protection of yourself and others attending this event we are required to issue the following guidelines which need to be adhered to while you are in attendance and under the control of the local Heritage Open Days organiser. \n1) If you are feeling unwell or showing signs of a fever please do not attend this event and inform the Chelmsford Civic Society. \n2) For protection\, it would be preferred if you can wear a mask.
