Description
Rescue excavations in advance of the construction of the M11 directed by M.G. Spratling revealed Roman corn drying kilns and a possible small bath house with hypocaust. Roman buildings were on at least five different sites within the threatened area, one site having at least three successive rectangular structures (the last with a hypocaust). The most important structure was one end of a large granary (possibly pre-Boudiccan). A series of terraced fields are associated.
