Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of a new office building with associated access, parking and landscaping at the old Sheepen Road car park, Colchester. The development site lies beyond the NW corner of the Roman town wall and to the east of the Roman trading depot and quayside at Sheepen. At the north end of the site modern layers were identified to a depth of 2.60m below current ground level and at the south end to 3.27m bcgl. They possibly sealed a Roman accumulation layer (L6b) but the trench was too deep to enable this to be fully investigated. The modern layers appear to be associated with the modern car park (L1-L4) and late Victorian/early Edwardian rubbish dumping (L5-L6a). |
