Description
December 2001. Archaeological evaluation.
The site falls partly within the scheduled ancient monument defining the Roman fort and town at Great Chesterford (EHER 4942). Two possible linear features seen in the excavated trench were not excavated but have been interpreted as the northern ditch of the Roman fort which is believed to cross the site. <1>
