Description
(Completed by Atkinson, M; FAG/1993-19944.)
Given the negative results from the trial trenching undertaken in the north and west of the site (EEX62036), only the central field, an area of some 3.8ha was selected for area excavation. The field was split into five excavation areas, collectively referred to as excavation Area W. This work constituted Stage I of the Elms Farm Project, in advance of the construction of a housing development by Bovis Homes.
NRHE data transfer:
Three stage excavation carried out in advance of housing development taking place within the Roman town. Project funded in part by Bovis Homes. Finds to go to Colchester Museum. Work included geophysical survey (EHGSDB Visit No: 2394).
