Archaeological monitoring was undertaken in 2017 during water pipe replacement works by Anglian Water on Maldon Road Roundabout, Colchester (Colchester Borough Council application 161607). Two pipe trenches, measuring 0.5m wide and 70m and 40m long, were monitored to the south and northwest of the roundabout. Additionally, two connection point pits, measuring 3.3m x 3.3m, were monitored within the north-western part of the roundabout itself. No archaeological features were observed during the monitoring, due to the high volume of made ground deposits that had resulted from the construction of the road and roundabout.<1>
