Cropmarks of Roman roads and possible buildings, '5 and a half acre field', in between the railway and the River Cam, Great Chesterford (EHER 4940)

Cropmarks of part of the Roman road to Braughing (EHER 4744) and the villa road from the mill (EHER 83332). The paper EHER record also contains a plot of possible 4th century buildings as interpreted from aerial photographs. Fieldwalking by the Great Chesterford Archaeology Group also recovered 1st-4th century pottery. Burials are mentioned, and this may be a reference to the cemetery excavated by Neville in 1855 which is possibly also at this location (EHER 4959).

Field (under cultivation) containing 5 and a half acres. Fieldwalking has produced pottery of 1st-4th century. Cropmarks show the course of the Roman Road to Braughing (EHER 4744), and the villa road from the mill (EHER 83332). Various buildings of 4th century date. Burials recorded. Plot of cropmarks on back of EHER paper sheet. <1> - <5> Site Assessment: Plough damage increasing annually. Fieldwalking by the GCAG in this field produced pottery of the 1st–4th centuries. <6> Note: The burials mentioned could be a reference to the cemetery excavated by Neville in 1855 or 1856 and possibly at this location, EHER 4959. The cropmarks were partially investigated by an excavation and watching brief in 2000-2001 and the results are recorded in EHER 45212. 2008 aerial photography shows possible cropmarks within this area, though none are particuarly clear or well defined. The features consist a possible linear feature that might be a continuation of the road and other linear features adjacent to it. <7>
