Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at Castle Court, St Peter's Street, Colchester, Essex, during groundworks for terraces and a ramp to flat units. The groundworks revealed a series of unfrogged brick foundations which appear to correspond with a building depicted in late 19th-century OS mapping of the area. No earlier features were encountered as excavations did not penetrate beyond modern and post-medieval layers.
