Monument record: MCC9199 Roman road at 38-40 Crouch Street, Colchester (Element)Areas of gravel defined during a watching brief and excavation in advance of redevelopment at 38-42 Crouch Street, Colchester, on the site of the (later) medieval Crouched Friars friary, were interepreted as the remains of a minor Roman road or street, aligned NE to SW across the site and heading towards the Balkerne Gate. The known extent of this metalling suggests a street c.4m in width. It should be noted, however, that areas of thin gravel surfaces were recorded during the excavation of medieval burials on the adjacent site (to the west) at number 42, Crouch Street, Colchester, excavated in 1988 (CAR 9, 248). Finds of early Roman, 1st-early 2nd century pottery, from a narrow gravel filled trench on its south side, indicate that the street was laid out in the early Roman period.
