The remains of a Roman building were uncovered during excavations at Maldon Road in 1971 (CAT Building 160). Evidence was poor regarding extent and function. The floors of the building were of sandy clay and the walls were built of shallow, rubble foundations containing small pieces of mortar and tile, and septaria. The floor was of two phases, the latest associated pottery was of 2nd century or later date. The floor sealed a slot containing Flavian pottery. A large pit appeared to contain demolition debris including 0.7sq m of plaster, predominantly pink with areas of white, red, and mustard, and white and green stripes and lines. Although nearly 200m from the main street to the north, the building was aligned at right angles to it.<1>
