Roman quern and pottery sherds at Corringham (EHER 7211)

Pottery scatter found during scraping across the line of an old watercourse (surviving in a much diminished form as a field boundary) for the Stanford-le-Hope bypass in 1970.

Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Pottery scatter found during scraping across the line of an old watercourse (surviving in a much diminished form as a field boundary) for Stanford-le-Hope bypass. The section wasn't observed, unfortunately. Roman finds comprised: "a grey everted rim sherd, oxidised externally"; a "much abraded sherd of central Gaulish terra sigillata, form indeterminate, Antonine period" and a Rhenish lava quern fragment, probably Roman. The finds are in Thurrock Museum. <1> - <4>
