Description
Two trial trenches were excavated in advance of a new office building at Amphora Place, Sheepen Road, Colchester, Essex, on the site of the former Sheepen Road car park (CBC application 151825). Modern layers were identified to a depth of 2.2-2.3m bcgl (5.14-5.15m AOD) in both trenches. Layers L1-L2 were associated with the construction of the former car park and L8, L5 and L6 with late 19th to early 20th century rubbish dumping on the site. Layer L9 at the base of the trenches may represent an earlier phase of use, but no dating evidence was present.<1>
