Description

Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by Colchester Archaeological Trust in January and February 2020 during groundworks for a new extension (the foundation trenching was 4.5m long, 0.6m wide x 1.24-2.4m deep). Several walls, a brick floor and a possible soakaway were uncovered, beneath a layer of late 19th- to 20th-century made-ground c.0.3-0.63m thick. These structures represent the remains of a late 19th- or early 20th-century building which stood at this site prior to its demolition and the construction of the houses which currently line Greenstead Road at some point during the early 20th century.<1>
