Cropmarks: large ring ditch cut by a broad ditch. <1> A photo <2> shows that this linear ditch my be a part of features found in cropmarks in a field to the east.
The area to the east of Tey Brook Piggeries was investigated during the laying of a water pipeline. Two modern pits were uncovered, subsequent trenching operations cut two substantial features, one of which is almost certainly a continuation of the linear cropmark previously noted to the west. This consisted of a 3.9m wide ditch with a rounded bottom extending to 1.2m deep. No dating evidence was found.<3>

The ring ditch was excavated by the Colchester Archaeological Group in 2003 and 2005.<4>
