Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 1ha area of land at Gosbecks View, Colchester. A ground penetrating radar survey was successfully completed across the survey area. A further extension of the Gosbecks to Colchester Roman Road identified in a field adjacent to the south of the survey area has been detected running through the east of the survey area. A possible lesser defined linear anomaly has also been identified running at a greater depth, possibly suggestive of a further trackway/road predating the known Roman road. An area of possible hard standing, possibly indicative of an access road for construction traffic has been identified just below the surface in the south, an alternate origin for this response could be associated with earlier ploughing activity. Broad spreads of reflective responses have been identified throughout the survey area, typical of natural variations associated with the varying composition of superficial deposits. The survey has also identified anomalies which have been classified as ‘undetermined’, including a potential buried surface. Whilst no definitive origin can be confidently ascribed to them, an archaeological origin cannot be completely ruled out.
