Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation (nine trial-trenches) was carried out at the Colchester Holiday Park, Cymbeline Way, Colchester, Essex in advance of the siting of an additional 42 static holiday caravan plots. The development site is located between the scheduled Triple Dyke and Moat Farm Dyke, in an area of known cropmarks and Roman features. Roman ditches, pits and postholes were excavated and are probably associated with agriculture or settlement. However, large quantities of Roman ceramic building material were recorded and may suggest the presence of a structure with tiled-roof and hypocaust somewhere nearby. |
