Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief took place at Pinnacle House, 21 St. John's Green, Colchester, during groundwork in advance of the construction of an extension. The groundwork included a series of narrow trenches for the foundations of the extension, a glazed link between the house and the extension, and a garden wall to the north of the extension. The natural subsoil was reached in the foundation trenches for the extension and the glazed link. In most of the trenches, the natural subsoil was sealed by an thick, homogenous, greyish-brown layer. The limited nature of the investigation made interpretation of this layer difficult and it remains undated. It was sealed by modern topsoil. A small quantity of human bone fragments was recovered during the machine-digging of the foundation trench for the north wall of the extension. It was uncertain whether the fragments came from an in situ burial or whether they were redeposited. The bones were probably medieval in date and belonged to a cemetery associated with St John's Abbey church.
