Watching brief by Colchester Archaeological Trust at the former Star Lane Brickworks, Star Lane, Great Wakering, 2015 - EEX59223

Archaeological monitoring and recording during the clearance of the site when the surviving concrete slabs and hardstanding were being lifted and broken-up. This made archaeological monitoring difficult and it was agreed that the contractors would strip eight areas for further investigation of any archaeological remains. These areas were given trench numbers but did not form a systematic evaluation of the site, locations were picked for ease of access instead. Each trench measured 30-60m long by 5m wide, and was excavated by the contractors using a mechanical digger under archaeological supervision. Note: EEX59218 was a duplicate of this record, now deleted.
