Description
Summary:ESSEX (1) Ardleigh, Crown Quarry, Old Ipswich Road (TM 02574 29773): an archaeological evaluation in an area of known Iron Age and early Roman occupation containing, among other remains, a D-shaped enclosure and an annexe likely used for industrial purposes. A post-medieval or modern ditch which likely represented the remains of a former field boundary was also recorded.97 (2) Colchester, a) 159 Maldon Road (TL 98553 24338): archaeological monitoring was carried out in an area of known archaeological remains, south of the Roman road from Colchester to Gosbecks and in close proximity to the sites of a number of Roman burials. The earliest occurred during the late Iron Age to early Roman period, which was represented by one ditch (F18) and three gullies (F14, F19 and F21). Probable field boundary ditch F18 produced a large assemblage of late Iron Age and early Roman pottery.
