Description
Two spearheads and a low-cone shield boss, Colchester.
Recorded as from 'graves adjoining the kilns' (Price Cat). The kilns to which this reference is made are not identified, but they may have been the group situated approximately 1km west of Balkerne Hill and excavated by Joslin in 1877 (Hull, 1963,3-9). Finds from the excavation of the kilns were subsequently catalogued by Price (1888, 74-5) and clearly Joslin's discoveries must have been prominent at the time. Alternatively, they might be from Mersea Road Anglo-Saxon cemetery, although no kilns known from this area.<1>
