Description
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken in March and April 2018 by Colchester Archaeological Trust during the groundworks for side and rear extensions (CBC planning application 171609). Foundation trenches totalling 23m long x 0.5m wide were excavated to a depth of 0.8m. Excavations occurred through four layers. Modern surfacing (L1, c.0.14-0.2m thick, concrete or tarmac) sealed modern topsoil (L2, c.0.1-0.15m thick ) and subsoil (L3, c.0.38-0.5m thick). Natural sands (L4) sealed beneath L3, were identified at a depth of 0.65-0.8m below current ground level. No archaeological remains were encountered.<1>
