Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by Colchester Archaeological Trust in October and November 2018 during groundworks for the construction of two extensions, a side storeroom and new services. Seven layers were recorded. Across most of the site, topsoil (L1, c.0.12-0.34m thick) sealed a levelling layer (L2, c.0.1-0.54m thick) which in turn lay above a further levelling layer (L3 0.24-1.62m thick). Within the westernmost part of the site, L3 overlay a further levelling layer (L4, c.0.27m thick). Together, L3 and L4 sealed a demolition or levelling layer (L5, c.0.46-0.58m thick) which was situated above a buried topsoil or subsoil (L6). Within the easternmost foundation trench, L3 was found to seal natural sands (L7), encountered at a depth of c.1.9-2.00m below current ground level. No archaeological features were encountered although a small assemblage of Roman pottery and ceramic building material was recovered.<1>
