Description

A.F.Hall undertook an auguring survey in Colchester Cemetery to trace the alignment of the Monkwick-Barnhall rampart or dyke. He surmises that the line must have run from the top of Berechurch Dyke towards the Colne where Salary Brook joins it. <1><2> Hall may have also undertaken some trenching, as indicated by the large trenches reproduced in the plan of his work, however the text is not clear.
