Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out on land north of Capon Road, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester during groundworks for a temporary car park. The development site is located within an area of significant archaeological remains including a prehistoric barrow cemetery and areas of Late Iron Age/Roman and medieval activity. However, as groundworks for the car park did not go below modern made ground, no significant archaeological remains were found.
