Description
An earthwork mound was first noticed by Mr. Peter Leyden some years prior to its excavation by Colchester Archaeological Group in 1972. In 1969, Mrs. I. McMaster had started to cut a trench, but 'working on her own, had found it very hard going' (see EEX29091). The excavation aimed to determine if the earthwork was a natural or man-made feature.
