Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during groundworks for the construction of a new teaching block and gym extension at Colchester Royal Grammar School. The school is located within an extensive Roman cemetery area and is at the junction of several Roman roads. Much of the site had suffered from modern disturbance, but four archaeological features were identified. Two areas of gravel surface can be identified as the Roman Gosbecks Road (F5) and the Roman London Road (F1). A pit and posthole were possibly also Roman. Residual finds within areas of modern disturbance included a Roman cremation urn and piece of Jacobean worked stone. |
