Roman urns (possibly Roman burials) and interments from south of Great Chesterford (EHER 83445)

Prof. McKenny Hughes acquired various urns from the south side of Chesterford and describes Roman interments along the river, suggesting they were found in great density.

In 1908 Prof. McKenny Hughes wrote about having acquired various urns, one at least of which was from the south side of Chesterford, and the implication is that more came from the same area. ‘In all that district, up and down the river, Roman interments and Roman debris occur at short intervals. We did however procure enough in situ to show the richness in pottery and other relics of many of the holes and to stimulate more systematic research.’ <1> Note: The mapped location is a grid reference given in <1> but is probably generic and does not represent the location of the finds.
