Description
Three test pits were dug (by hand) on the west side (i.e. inner face) of St John's Abbey precinct wall along Mersea Road, Colchester. The trenches were excavated to allow a structural engineer to assess the condition and stability of the structure. The three test-trenches exposed the face of the precinct wall, showing it to be in varying states of condition and preservation, with evidence of previous patches and repair work.
