Abstract
Red hills miscellany
James Fawn
5 - 6
Notes that the number of salt-making hills recorded in the Essex SMR has risen to more than 400, largely due to aerial photography; suggests that inland finds of `briquetage' represent locally made storage containers for salt; the use of animal dung as a temper in briquetage; the possible use of protective washes on the surfaces of vessels; evidence for Henry Stopes's first expression of interest in red hills from an 1876 newspaper account.
More interesting finds from the Essex/Suffolk border
M J Matthews
8 - 11
The article first describes some Roman bronze finds recovered in a survey of the Stour valley: a naked and winged figurine, a seal-box with a frog on the lid, and a head stud brooch. The second part describes a copy of the catalogue for the sale, in 1886, of three silk mills in Colchester.

A timber-framed building in Queen Street, Colchester
R Shackle
17 - 23
Describes the structure of a sixteenth-century timber-frame building, behind the Georgian facade of numbers 39--41, that was recorded during recent renovation work in 1994.
Some pargetting in Colchester
R Shackle
24 - 29
Reports on three fragments of moulded plasterwork rediscovered in a vault of the Castle Museum in November 1995. They comprise a plaque bearing the date 1702 and identified as having been removed from a house in Cistern Yard in 1932; a plaster ceiling of uncertain age; and some pargetting that is possibly the fragments dating from c 1650 that were removed from 38--39 High Street in 1930.
Short notes
30 - 32
Describes some finds from Colchester, made in 1995: a bronze seal matrix (probably medieval) from St Mary Magdalen; a pilgrim badge from river deposits at the Hythe; a samian platter with graffiti; and a Roman intaglio found near St Mary's Hospital.

The Wreck House, Brightlingsea
Claude Dove
Suggests that the building may be the only surviving purpose-built example of the depots for the storage of wreck and salvage that were established by statute in 1808.
Colchester Folleys
Sally Heffer
Considers the origin of the word `folley' as used in certain Colchester street names.
A gaming dial at the Froize Inn, Chillesford, Suffolk
James Fawn
