Description
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust during 2016 and early 2017 at Roman House, during groundworks for the conversion of the building to Class A3/A4 commercial and Class D2 leisure use (CBC planning 160943, change of use to cinema). The majority of the groundworks took place through modern layers associated with the construction of the existing building. A 12m deep borehole on the eastern side of the building revealed 3.3m of made-ground beneath 0.25m of modern concrete but none of the layers could be dated. A drainage pit on the western side revealed 1.38m of modern layers with at least 0.42m of accumulation underneath.<1>
