Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at 13 Fitzwilliam Road, Colchester, Essex during groundworks for a single-storey rear extension. A ditch or pit was uncovered but a lack of dating evidence means its relationship with other archaeological remains in the area is unclear. A post-medieval layer of redeposited natural sands and gravels was also revealed by the groundworks.
