Excavations by A.F. Hall in 1936. The following information is taken from Hull's MS 'Colchester Outside the Walls' in the Col Mus. An 18m long east-west trench at the northern end of field 1303. It was positioned to section Ditch 9, the 'Laver ditch'. The ditch was cut obliquely and was 1.2m deep and about 3m wide. The trench was extended and another ditch found 6m east of the first, it was about 0.5m deep and about 1.1m wide. Hall thought this may have been cut into a bigger ditch which was difficult to differentiate from the natural. Further trenches were dug to the north and north-west in fields 1299 and 1300 but the exact positions are not known. There were no finds.

This is the same as MCC10054.
