Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Rescue excavation of an extra-mural site revealed structural remains of Roman, medieval and later date by St Botolph's Street and Stanwell Street frontages. Floors from a probable late-first- or second-century Roman building were uncovered in a trench (site A) at the eastern end of the site. These were sealed by a series of well-preserved wicker-lined drains and fences of late-twelfth- to fourteenth-century date, although elsewhere much of the site was covered by a thick layer of post-Roman topsoil or dark earth. Building remains, probably outbuildings, extended back from the St Botolph's Street frontage over site A in the late medieval period, and rebuilding of the plot continued into the nineteenth century. A shoemaker's workshop may have existed on or near the site in the late-twelfth to mid-thirteenth centuries. The well-preserved foundations and tile floors of a building of sixteenth-seventeenth-century date, which fronted onto Stanwell Street, were uncovered at the western and of the site. This had been destroyed by fire, probably during the seige of Colchester in 1648. `The finds' by N Crummy & J Hind (57-9) include coins, pottery, clay pipes, glass, tile, organic remains, and metalwork. | ||||||||||||||
