Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations at Duncan’s gate comprised the cleaning and recording of a stretch of Roman drain and the excavation of a sunken feature. An archaeological excavation was carried out at Duncan’s Gate, Upper Castle Park, High Street, Colchester, Essex in advance of the consolidation and conservation of a stretch of Roman drain. The work comprised the cleaning and recording of a Roman drain and the investigation of an adjacent sunken feature. The section of the drain recorded was roughly 6m in length. It was constructed of Roman brick with a tiled base and an opening in the western wall. The sunken feature was excavated through two layers, both of which were modern in date, and is likely to be the result of tree removal. |
