A systematic fieldwalking and metal-detecting survey was undertaken by Colchester Archaeological Trust on land (c.10.2ha.) to the west of Dawes Lane in October 2019.<1> The fieldwalking survey revealed very small scatters of prehistoric, Roman and medieval material, with post-Roman tile/brick and post-medieval and modern pottery dominating the assemblage. Similarly, the metal-detecting survey only produced post-medieval/modern agricultural ironwork and modern waste material. Prehistoric finds consisted of a flint flake, two probable flint cores and a piece of burnt flint. Only two (the flake and burnt flint) were found in the same hectare, although all four were from the southern half of the field. There was only one fragment of Roman pottery (5.9g) and a total of 179g of Roman brick/tile. Medieval and post-medieval finds consisted of pottery, peg-tile and brick. There were four fragments of medieval pottery (27.5g) and nine fragments of post-medieval pottery (55.7g). Each transect of the fieldwalking grid was also metal-detected. A total of 11.85kg of agricultural ironwork was found during the survey along with 810g of aluminium/tin, brass and the remains of a mobile phone.
