During excavations at Balkerne Lane in 1973-6 (ECC332), a timber-lined drain was found lining the north side of the main Colchester to London road (MCC475) and to the south of a building (MCC615). The drain appeared to have been continued westwards (see MCC634) along the south side of an adjacent building (MCC614). The drain was backfilled in the early 4th century.<1>
