Summary. On the 14th and 15th April 1998, a field evaluation was carried out to investigate the archaeological implications of proposed redevelopment at 157A-167 North Station Road, Colchester. In total, 106 sq metres was examined by trenching: the overall site stratigraphy appears to be characterised by very mixed post-medieval to modern deposits of make-up and levelling which lie directly over naturally occurring sediments and clays.
