Summary. Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out at 77 Culver Street East, Colchester, Essex during groundworks for extensions to the new Primark shop-front. The site is located within Insulas 29 and 37 of the Roman town, and south of the (now-demolished) St Nicholas' Church. However, a concrete lintel discovered beneath the flagstone paving was thick enough to be built on and no further groundworks were carried out.
