Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) undertook an archaeological evaluation at 7, Cambridge Road, Colchester, Essex. At the time of the evaluation the site was levelled by machine in preparation for construction works. The potential for archaeological remains was considered high due to the proximity of the Roman extra-mural cemetery. Fieldwork on the adjacent properties had revealed Roman pitting. One trench was excavated by machine down to the natural deposits. No archaeological features or artefacts were found.. The report concludes that absence of archaeology within the trench indicates a low potential for archaeological survival across the site. Since the trenches were targeted on the footprint of the planned works, it is unlikely that the development will greatly impact further on surviving archaeology. |
