An archaeological evaluation, comprising a single trial-trench 8.0m long x 1.80m wide, was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust in February 2019 on land adjacent to 3 Borges Gardens, Braiswick Lane, Colchester, in advance of the construction of a new dwelling. It was excavated through topsoil (L1, 0.12-0.21m thick) onto natural (L2) encountered at a depth of 0.12-0.21m below current ground level. A wall foundation F2, aligned E to W, of a building which stood at this site from at least the mid 19th century until its demolition around the 1990s was uncovered along with a post-medieval or modern pit F1.<1>
