Summary. An archaeological evaluation (four trial-trenches) was carried out on land south of Gosbecks View, Colchester, Essex in advance of the pre-planning application for a residential development on the site. The development area was located adjacent to the Colchester-to-Gosbecks Roman road (MCC2529). Despite lying within an archaeologically rich landscape, the evaluation only uncovered eight contexts, including one ditch, three pits and five natural or geological features. None of the features could be dated.
