Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation (three trial-trenches) was undertaken at Wakes Hall, Colchester Road, Wakes Colne, Essex in advance of the part-demolition and extension of an existing building, its conversion into twelve dwellings, and the construction of a further ten dwellings. Two modern foundations which probably form part building remains from a camp associated with a Second World War ammunition dump at Wakes Colne were uncovered, along with a ditch of uncertain date. The camp probably supplied troops manning the pillboxes and defences around Chappel Viaduct immediately to the east, part of the Eastern Command Line and was reportedly converted to house displaced persons after the war. |
