Description
Northamptonshire Archaeology conducted a geophysical survey on land located to the south-west of Colchester in September 2008 (commissioned by Andrew Josephs Ltd, on behalf of Tarmac Quarry Products Ltd). Approximately 7ha. of detailed gradiometer survey was carried out in seven fields (only seven out of 11 fields, 14ha. in total, were surveyable). The survey identified four possible enclosures, former field boundaries and a dry valley.<1>
The geophysical survey was subsequently followed by a trial-trenched evaluation, undertaken by Colchester Archaeological Trust in 2008 (ECC3560) and excavation in 2015 (ECC4330).<2><3>
