Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during excavations to enable the construction of an escape shaft to the basement of a school, a Grade II Listed Building which lay within the former precinct of a 12th century priory. A Saxon cemetery had been recorded nearby, and the site lay alongside the main Roman road to Colchester. Roman remains recorded in the vicinity included ditches, roads and buildings. A trial pit had been excavated at the site in 1994; full excavation of the construction trench took place in 1995, when the archaeological observations were reappraised. Disarticulated human bones and post-medieval artefacts, including building materials and pottery, were recovered. A collection of human bones, possibly contained within a small pit, continued beyond the limit of excavation. The bulk of the deposits found appeared to have been laid down in the post-medieval period. It was concluded that the bones may have derived from a cemetery associated with the priory, rather than from the nearby Saxon cemetery. [AIP] |
