Roman wall foundation (inside Second Walled Enclosure) in the churchyard at All Saints' Church, Great Chesterford (EHER 83338)

A watching brief in 2011 recorded a Roman wall foundation similar to that recorded by trial trenching in 2001 (EHER 46067). The watching brief also recovered unstratified Roman pottery, brick and tile.

July-August 2011. Watching brief. The north-south aligned remains of a wall foundation discovered to the south of the Lady Chapel may be of Roman date. A similar structure was found during previous works further to the south (EHER 46067). All Roman artefacts retrieved were unstratified and comprised several fragments of pottery, brick and tile. The pottery dates to the 3rd and 4th centuries, which compares well with the previous excavation within the churchyard and to the main period of Roman town evelopment. <1>
