Full Description
Cropmarks of pits and assorted linear features. The area is partially marked by various geology, however. <1>
Trenching for the Colchester Northern Approach Road Phase 3 were dug in the vicinity of the cropmark group. No man-made features could be associated with the large curvilinear mark, nor with the rather vague cluster of small marks to the south- unless the small marks are charcoal pits, which appear to be at their most commonest in this area. The pits contained no dating evidence and some showed reddened edges.<2><3><4> (See 46069 for main record)
