Description

Trial trenches in the garden of 'Logarth', West Stockwell Street/Nunn’s Road in advance of redevelopment for an NCP multi-storey car park. The work was undertaken by the Colchester Excavation Committee and directed by Colchester and Essex Museums and was a continuation of work carried out in 1963/1964 by Mr. B.P. Blake (see ECC951). The trenches revealed the existence of an east-west Roman street, a V-shaped ditch and a Roman building evidenced by walls and tessellated pavements. These are situated in the south-west corner of Insula 3.<1><2>
