Description
Observations were made in a culvert near the pond roundabout in August 1989. 1m diameter pipes were laid to provide drainage beneath the new Maldon bypass. The culvert was cut to a depth of c.1.5m below the former ground surface, and then largely backfilled with pea-gravel. A stretch c.12m in length and 50cm deep was available for inspection. About 40cm of this was topsoil, above a disturbed looking gravel. Roman material came from the topsoil and at least 2 fairly stone-free features below it.
