Summary. Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out at 14 Bakers Lane, Colchester, Essex, during remedial works to repair damage to Moat Farm Dyke (NHLE No. 1019964) which occurred during a fire. The dyke runs along the eastern boundary of the property and forms the northern extension of the Lexden Dyke, the northern-most part of the Late Iron Age defensive dyke system surrounding Colchester. Several stages of work were monitored, none of which caused further damage to the dyke or uncovered anything of archaeological interest.
