Description
Investigations were carried out on the remains of the temple podium and overlying deposits beneath Colchester Castle, ahead of the insertion of a lift shaft. An area of 2.4 x 2.3m was exposed revealing the podium at a depth of 3.15m from the castle floor. No features of Norman or later medieval date were observed. The total area examined covered 3 x 2.5m and also revealed post medieval stone robbing activities as well as post holes and a trench attributable to the time of Charles Grey's ownership.<1>
