Summary. An archaeological evaluation (one trial-trench) was carried out at Colchester County High School for Girls, Norman Way, Colchester, Essex in advance of the construction of a twostorey extension to the existing teaching block. Despite lying in an archaeologically sensitive area, only a modern pit or soakaway and a modern drainage run were uncovered at the site, underscoring the results of previous investigations carried out here, which have indicated that the focus of Roman activity lies to the north and east of the school.
