Full Description

Finds from site in Stanwell Street. Although the Museum Report refers to an excavation in March 1937 at Turners Clothing Factory, Stanwell Street, it is not clear if this refers to building work or archaeological excavation <1>. A hand written note in the SMR records the finds with form types and pottery section drawings <2>. The finds are significant in that they include 'coarse native brown ware exactly as found on the Sheepen site, and also includes forms 321, 242 etc (COLEM 1937.987). 'This is the strongest deposit of this period yet found under modern Colchester'.<1> The site also produced flint core and knife and a large quantity of Medieval pottery, including fragments of a Pilgrims bottle and much brown glazed ware.<2> See also <3><4><5><6> Located to centre of Clothing Factory siteTL99722487.
