Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
A crushed Roman cooking pot of about 120-250 AD was found about 14 inches below the present ground level in an area at Langley Green, Coggeshall, where the Gas Board had stripped the top soil, during 1973, in order to lay a pipeline. About ten feet away was a shallow gully in the stripped surface containing dark soil with a quantity of pottery, including a small thin-walled beaker, probably of mid first century date. <1> <2>
