Description
NRHE data transfer:
Evaluation to the rear of properties fronting Kelvedon High Street revealed a large ditch on the projected line of the 2nd century defences but back-filled in the Flavian period, and more likely to belong to the Late Iron Age settlement. Several other late Iron Age/Roman features were also revealed, including gullies, pits and ditches; an earthwork of uncertain date, a Roman fence and a post medieval structure were also found.
