Description
Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit (ECC FAU) undertook a programme of building recording works on a stable/barrack block at the former Le Cateau Cavalry Barracks,
prior to office/residential conversion (CBC planning application LB/COL/06/1280). <1>
Stable block B (LBS 469541) originally formed the central element of three identical blocks on the south-west side of the parade ground and Officer’s Quarters. Only this and block A remain. Another group of three formerly stood to the north-east, flanking the other side of the parade ground.
This survey was followed by a survey in 2008 of stable block A, the canteen/sergeant’s mess, adult school and riding school. <2>
