Description
As part of phase 2 of the Eastern Approaches Road, an evaluation trench was excavated at the rear of 154 Magdalen Street. The trench was located in the north-west corner of the Colchester Enterprise Centre and measured 10m x 2m. It was machine-excavated to a depth of 3m but revealed nothing of archaeological significance. No manual excavation or cleaning was attempted at the lower levels due to the depth and unstable nature of the trench sides. The natural sand was overlain by material derived from 19th century dumping activity.<1>
