Excavations in the garden of No. 12 Lexden Road 'Camulodunum' and the adjacent plot to the south in the grounds of the Colchester Royal Grammar School. Pupils at the Colchester Royal Grammar School dug an extensive series of small trenches during the mid 1950s.<1> 'The school has been fortunate in obtaining permission to dig in the garden of Camulodunum to investigate the course of the Roman road which runs through the north garden of Gurney Benham House towards Elyanore, Finds have been interesting, puzzling, and far beyond expectation. But the present position is in a state of flux, and it is hoped to present a more detailed account in the next issue'.<2> 'The area has proved very rich in Roman remains of the first and second centuries, with many pits and trenches on both sides of the road, some of them even encroaching upon it and one of them crossing it. There are remains of burials in great quantity.'<3>
