Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring of the excavation of a series of postholes to accommodate an outdoor awning was due to be carried out at St Helena School, Colchester. The remains of a Roman temple complex are located within the site, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The projected works were undertaken without archaeological supervision, and so, as a remedial measure, archaeologists sifted through the spoil to search for artefacts. Two sherds of Roman pottery, some Roman and post-Roman brick and tile, a flint flake and animal bone were recovered. The excavations did not appear to have penetrated beyond modern horizons. |
