Summary. An archaeological evaluation (two trial-trenches) was carried out at Plot 6 on land adjacent to Hillcroft, 144 Braiswick, Colchester, Essex in advance of the construction of a new dwelling and garage. Located close to a number of cropmarks and to Moat Farm Dyke, archaeological evaluation immediately west of the site in 2020 revealed a medieval/post-medieval pit and modern pit, along with a pit/post-hole and post-hole which could not be dated. However, no archaeological remains were found during the current evaluation.
