Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out at 42 Creffield Road in advance of the demolition of an existing single-storey extension and the construction of a new rear single-storey extension. The development site is located within the Late Iron Age oppidum of Camulodunum and an area of Roman burials termed ‘the western cemetery’ or the ‘Lexden cemetery’. An undated ditch or silt patch and the remains of a modern foundation were recorded.
