Summary. Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out at 118 Straight Road, Colchester, Essex during groundworks for the construction of a rear extension. The Late Iron Age Shrub End Dyke is projected to run through the site, which also lies to the south of the Triple Dyke. It is also located near to the historic Lexden and Stanway Heaths.

Despite lying in an archaeologically sensitive area, only a modern cut feature was revealed by the groundworks.
