Description
A trial-trenched evaluation (four trenches) was undertaken by Colchester Archaeological Trust in April 2007, following geophysical survey by Tim Dennis (March 2007)(ECC2741).<1><2>
This work revealed twelve linear features (at c.0.9m below ground level), which were interpreted as graves and intercutting graves (further excavation would be needed to confirm that these features were graves). No human bone was exposed. There were no stratified finds. Cleaning over the base of T4 produced a group of finds including residual Roman pottery (1 sherd) and tile (1 piece), four fragments of medieval or post-medieval peg-tile, one fragment of post-medieval brick, two sherds of post-medieval red earthenware, one clay tobacco-pipe stem fragment, five sherds of modern glass, three iron nails and an animal bone.<1>
