An archaeological watching brief on the groundworks of pads for gate-posts at St Botolph’s Church, Colchester, Essex: April 2002

Observations were made during an archaeological watching brief on the groundworks of pads for two gate-posts which were erected to link fencing with the new extension to St Botolph’s Church, Colchester, Essex. The holes were dug to 800mm depth. Disturbance and rubbish from the former Britannia Works were recorded. Except for one fragment of residual Roman tile, nothing of archaeological significance was recorded.
