Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at 104 Oaklands Avenue, Colchester, Essex during groundworks for side and rear extensions. The site lies approximately 40m east of the prehistoric Gryme’s Dyke, with evidence to suggest pre-dyke activity near the site. Other archaeological features dated from the Late Iron Age to post-medieval have also been discovered nearby in recent years. Despite this, only a single ditch was revealed, and ceramic recovered from the fill has been dated to the modern period.
