Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at 36 Cambridge Road, Colchester, Essex, during groundworks for a single-storey side and rear extension. This development site lies within the projected route of the Roman road linking Gosbecks and Colchester. Groundworks revealed the remains of two ditches and a fragmentary metalled surface which appear to represent the remains of the Roman road.
