Description

An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust in February 2001 on behalf of Anglian Water. The work was necessitated by the insertion of a stand-pipe. This required the excavation by machine of a trench 1.6m long and 1.1m deep. No archaeological features or finds were seen in the trench, which had already been disturbed by the excavation for the existing Anglian Water pipe down to over a metre below modern ground-level. Only modern items were retrieved from the trench. <1>
