Description
A single trial trench, 10m long x 1.8m wide, was excavated by Colchester Archaeological Trust in August 2017 in advance of the construction of two new dwellings with car parking and associated works (CBC planning appplication 171157). Three layers were recorded. Modern topsoil (L1, c.0.03-0.05m thick) sealed accumulated subsoil (L2, c.0.21-0.31m thick). This layer sealed a natural layer (L3, encountered at a depth of c.0.26-0.34m below current ground level). No archaeological remains were encountered.<1>
