Abstract:		 In October 2009, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on behalf of Thames and Colne River Aggregates Ltd during groundworks associated with the extension of the current quarry development at Fingringhoe Ballast Quarry, Colchester (TL 7856 3560). The previous evaluation and excavation revealed 17 cremation vessels of approximately 2nd century date, all located along the edge of a contemporary boundary ditch. Additionally, four graves were identified, though only two contained human bone. Two possible pyre deposits or un-urned cremations were located c. 20m south of these features. Other features comprised a tentatively dated 1st century BC/AD system of boundary ditches, its 2nd - 4th century successor, and pits dating to both periods (Trott 2006). Previous monitoring revealed a ?Roman cremation (F3016), a pit (F3034) which contained Neolithic pottery and flint including a projectile point. Other archaeological features comprised boundary ditches, gullies, and pits/postholes. Numerous tree hollows and natural features were also investigated, some of which contained residual pottery sherds (Doyle 2005; Greene 2008). The current phase of monitoring did not contribute to the above archaeological record as no features or finds were present.
