Abstract: |
A trench-based evaluation was carried out in advance of the construction of a proposed extension to the existing building. The site is located next to Moulsham Street, which is part of the former Roman road from London to Colchester, laying to the south-west of a 1st century AD Roman fort and fort annexe. The fort was short-lived and the area was subsumed within a Roman town, Caesaromagus, which grew to its maximum extent in the mid 2nd century. Only two archaeological features were found: a post-hole containing a rim sherd from a necked jar of 2nd or 3rd century date, and a large pit that produced a variety of finds including 32 sherds of Roman pottery, the latest of which is likely to have been current in the early to mid 4th century. |
