Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief took place during the installation of an interpretation panel in Gosbecks Archaeological Park, which lies approximately 3 km south-west of the walled area of Colchester town centre. The panel is sited in the north-western corner of the park, close to the car park accessed off Maldon Road. Many of the important Late Iron Age and Roman remains at Gosbecks lie within the archaeological park. The post hole for the interpretation panel was dug approximately 260 mm square and 550 mm deep. The deposits encountered during the digging of the post hole were as follows. The upper 100 mm was turf and modern topsoil. This sealed a greyish-brown layer, approximately 250 mm thick, which was probably post-Roman ploughsoil. The lower 200 mm consisted of a yellowish-brown sandy deposit with abundant gravels, which was probably natural subsoil. Finds from the spoil included a small undiagnostic fragment of brick or tile and a small modern glass shard (not retained).
