Description

As part of the excavation season by Colchester Archaeological Trust in 1999, this survey was carried out in order to try and plot the course of the Roman drain, which had been identified in the previous year’s excavations to the north of the archaeological park. The plotted results identified the course of the Roman drain for 110m to grid marker 7. A further ditch with a large magnetic response was also identified. <1><2>
