Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out at 12 Roman Road, Colchester, Essex in advance of the construction of a single-storey rear extension. The development site is located within the Roman town of Colonia Claudia Victriensis and backs onto the Roman town wall (scheduled monument NHLE no. 1003772). Groundworks revealed modern/post-Roman layers (L1/L2) for a depth of approximately 800mm. Most groundworks did not penetrate below this depth. However, the soakaway in the south-eastern corner of the garden was excavated to a depth of 1.25m. Beneath L1/L2 was a layer of Roman accumulation (L3) sealing a silty-loam (L4) that may be the upper part of the Roman rampart which was piled up behind the town wall. |
