Description
In 1885 Laver records that a road was encountered in the Grammar School grounds, A.F. Hall believes that this must refer to the terracing done in 1852. In the 1950's the line of the terrace could be seen on the west of the school, the 1852 line lay north of this (See Fig 1 of 'Roman Colchester').<1>
