Description
Roman pottery found on the field. A gravel spread may indicate a road. <1>
Site Assessment: No development likely. <1>
This pottery may have been recovered during the 1978 fieldwalking by the Great Chesterford Archaeology Group (EEX53418) at Bramble Shot, but it is not clear if the fieldwalking was undertaken at this location. If so, the following text from the EAA report No. 137 may relate to this monument. It is again not possible to be entirely confident of this, as there is an error in the EHER number given in the Gazetteer.
Roman pottery was found by casual collection on the field surface. It has been suggested that a gravel spread in the same area may indicate the presence of a road or trackway. <2>
Note: The road may be the east-west feature depicted as a cropmark and recorded in EHER 13962.
