Description
In the summer of 1961, while a bungalow was being built to the north of the A604, foundation and drain trenches revealed several illegible bronze Roman coins, together with most of a grey, rimless dish of Colchester Form 39. Trial pits dug in the garden of the bungalow failed to produce evidence of Roman occupation levels but did produce a few sherds of pottery including the rim of a flanged dish Colchester Form 305. Such evidence as there is from this site would suggest a third or fourth century occupation.
