A line of fortification extending around the south of Colchester. Built by Parliamentation troops during 1648 seige.

Cropmarks: pits, linear features, rectilinear enclosures and two rectangular to square enclosures at TL 962264.

Cropmarks, recorded by air photography, of linear features, possible trackway.

Remains of Bronze Age barrow at Mr B. Spence's farm defined as a cropmark (i.e. the mound had been flattened), near to Cudmore Grove (north-east of Broman's Farm), excavated by D.J. Pryor, Miss F.D. De'Ath and Mr J.B. Bennett.

Roman pottery, tile and metalwork.

Three phases of Roman ditch, two or more Roman pits, a pit or possible grave, and a semi-circular gully, recorded during 2011 Site K excavation, in advance of the redevelopment of the former Meeanee & Hyderabad Barracks, Mersea Road.

Four north/south ditches and one east/west ditch recorded by excavation in 2016, primarily of an early Roman date. Another two north/south ditches were identified by evaluation in 2013 (T3, F19 and T4, F2), although F19 could not be traced by excavation. A number of Roman pits/rubbish pits were excavated, indicative of occupation, with finds from the site forming a moderately wealthy assemblage.

Bronze Age and Early Iron Age ditches were defined in advance of the construction of a water pipeline in 2011.

A trial-trenched evaluation and small excavation in 2015, in advance of a housing development, defined a small number of late prehistoric (ditches, pits and post-holes), which produced a small assemblage of handmade pottery (incl. three decorated sherds) dated to the Early Iron Age. The excavation also defined a probable Roman ditch (containing a 2nd century AD sherd).

A late C4 inhumation cemetery on the east side of the excavated site.
