Description
A single trial-trench, 10m long x 1.8m wide, was excavated by Colchester Archaeological Trust in July 2017 in advance of the construction of a new dwelling and associated parking (CBC planning application 171585). Three layers were recorded. Modern topsoil (L1, c 0.25-0.35m thick) sealed accumulated subsoil (L2, c 0.1m thick). This layer sealed a layer of naturally-deposited sands and gravels (L3). A single feature, probably a tree throw (F1), was defined, which measured 0.85m wide x 0.17m deep.<1>
