Summary. An archaeological evaluation (one trial-trench) was carried out on land to the rear of 166 Berechurch Road, Colchester, Essex in advance of the construction of a single house. The site is approximately 500m east of the important Late Iron Age and Roman complex of Gosbecks and is directly north of a series of cropmarks known as ‘site north of Birch Grove’. Three features were uncovered, two modern pits and one post-hole.
