Abstract:		 The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of five trenches (Fig. 3). Trenches 1 to 3 were located within the footprints of the proposed structures whilst Trenches 4 and 5 were within areas of parking or landscaping. Due to the presence of concrete surfaces and permanently plumbed caravans, it was not possible to excavate the trenches precisely as planned. This affected Trench 1, which was moved slightly to the north, Trench 3, which was moved slightly to the west and curved around a caravan, and Trench 5, which was cut in an ‘L’ shape. Trenches 2 and 4 were excavated in their planned locations. The overburden was stripped from the trenches using a 9 tonne mechanical excavator fitted with a 1.8m wide toothless ditching bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. No deposits were identified that required sampling. In May 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on a site within the Coopers Beach Holiday Park, Church Lane, East Mersea, Colchester, Essex. Five trenches were excavated. Two features, a possible ditch and a small pit, that produced fragments of clearly late post-medieval brick/tile, were noted in one trench. No other features were encountered and no other finds were recovered in any of the other trenches.
