Description
1978. Watching brief.
A number of loam intrusions into the natural gravel were recorded; in one of these was an almost complete jug in grey mottled brown salt-glazed stoneware. This is a typical Frechen product, the fabric similar to that of bellarmines from Chelmsford and Rettendon, the former dated mid 16th century. <1>
