Description
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during groundworks for 13 new dwellings to the rear of 60-66 East Street, Colchester (planning application F/COL/01/1848). This followed on from investigation inside the property in 2003 and 2004 (CAT Report 283). Service trenches and some foundation trenches, excavated by a mechanical excavator with a toothed bucket, were monitored during five visits to the site. The service trenches were 0.7m wide x 1m deep. Foundation trenches varied from 1.4m to 1.9m depth due to the presence of contaminated soil. No archaeological features were observed.<1><2>
