Abstract:		 An evaluation carried out within former tennis courts recorded a small quantity of residual Roman material, consisting of tile fragments and two sherds of pottery, and some preserved wood. One piece of wood appeared to be a structural timber of medieval date. Trenches excavated on the Colchester Institute playing fields revealed Roman deposits in waterlogged levels. A probable ditch and other features were noted, and artefacts included 1st-3rd century pottery, bone, charcoal, oyster shell, wood and structural timber. At the Colchester Borough Council lorry and car parks, possible medieval layers were observed. [Au(adp)]
