A further two trial-trenches were excavated by Colchester Archaeological Trust in July 2011 in the central part of Area E, which was unavailable in 2004, in advance of the construction of a new school. <1> The 2011 discoveries consisted of Roman ditches, post-holes, a quarry pit, substantial quantities of brick and tile, and a buried pot (possibly a ritual deposit). These remains have added to the picture gained by the 2004 work, that there was a Roman-period ditched enclosure here containing what was probably a relatively small Romanised domestic structure, and associated post-built structures. Together these defined what may have been a small villa-type establishment set in its own fields, similar to those found at the Kirkee & McMunn Barracks, 1540m to the SW, and at Goojerat Barracks (GAL Area L/N), 883m to the SW. The only significant post-Roman find was a continuation of the 1648 siege works ditch, aligned E to W, which may have been part of the defences connected with Fort Needham. See CAT report 274 for the first stage of evaluation in 2004. <2>
