Archaeological monitoring was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust in July and August 2018 during groundworks associated with the construction of a new boundary wall with associated landscaping and services, to provide an enclosed private parking area. Monitoring revealed modern layers sealing 19th-century brick walls and brick and cobbled floors from buildings, likely to have been stables, present on the OS map of 1875. Possible medieval and Roman occupation layers (L9 and L14) were also present. L9 was encountered at c.1.35m deep in TP1 but was not excavated. The possible Roman occupation layer (L14) was identified in the northern half of the drainage trench at c.0.82m below current ground level, sealed by L11.<1> Apart from one sherd (7g) of Roman pottery (fabric KX: black-burnished ware, BB2 types, in pale grey ware) all the pottery (10 sherds weighing 289g) is of later medieval and post-medieval date with sherds of medieval sandy greywares (fabric 20), Colchester-type ware (fabric 21A), and post-medieval red earthenwares (fabric 40). This material came from the contexts L8, L9, and L11. There were also seven fragments (c.1,200g) of ceramic building material. Most of this material was of Roman date, with pieces of imbrex (RI), tegulae (RT), and box flue tile (RFT) with combed decoration; there was no Post-Roman CBM. All the Roman CBM came from the context L11 (7, 8).
