Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to undertake a magnetometer survey on land east of Warren Lane, Stanway, Colchester, Essex. The work was undertaken between Thursday 25th and Friday 26th February 2016. The most compelling evidence for possible archaeological features was represented by a positive anomaly on higher gravels in the east of the site. This anomaly may represent part of a rectilinear cut feature such as an infilled enclosure ditch. Further moderate positive anomalies representing possible ditches correspond to two features seen on aerial photography. These features appear to relate to a possible palaeochannel system flowing into the Roman River valley. A large area of weak positive magnetic enhancement corresponds to the broad area of the features noted on aerial photography. Several weak discrete and linear positive anomalies may relate to cut features such as pits and ditches but a natural origin cannot be discounted. Linear anomalies may also relate to plough scarring. |
