Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken at Wakes Hall, Colchester Road, Wakes Colne, Essex in advance of the extension of an existing building, its conversion into twelve dwellings, and the construction of a further ten dwellings. Several foundations which are likely to be associated with a World War II camp, a post-medieval pit, a modern drainage system, and a fragmentary modern brick floor surface were uncovered. The camp probably supplied troops manning the pillboxes and defences around the Chappel Viaduct (part of the eastern Command Line) immediately to the east. Later the redundant camp was used for providing accommodation to for displaced persons after the war. |
