Description
Investigation of an area of Sheepen Lane following the discovery of Roman pottery by workmen laying electricity cable on the New Technical College site (now Colchester Institute). The site lay in area D of the Camulodunum excavations (see ECC328) but in an east part near an area which, according to the excavators, had not been excavated. In the small area available for excavation a quantity of broken pottery and 'wasters' was found which suggested the presence of a kiln.<1>
A note in the SMR file suggests that much of the area may have been previously excavated in the 1930's.<2>
