Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at Drumlin House, 1a St Clare Road, Colchester, Essex, during the construction of a replacement porch and two soakaways. Previous investigations have revealed evidence of agricultural activity and domestic settlement in this area during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Three ditches, two postholes and two natural features were recorded, providing further illumination of an area of extra-mural settlement on the outskirts of the early Roman town.
