Full Description
A kiln site in a large field to the west of the temple, the field bordering on the Maldon Road. Vague signs on the AP which suggested a Roman house on the top of a knoll near the road were unfounded. Attention was concentrated further south where the plough had turned up incineration burials. Little or nothing of anything of this nature was found but a small pit with traces of fire contained exclusively La Tene III pottery. From a point further north buried under 4 feet of waterwashed soil lay the remains of an oven, the walls made of broken tile. Investigation of a mound to the south of the temple produced only a small amount of pottery which included some Belgic material. <1>
AP <2>
A magnetic survey of the 13ha scheduled site which includes the enclosure believed to be Cunobelins farmstead has revealed a comlpex pattern of ditches which suggests that the site was in use over a long period of time. No definite evidence was found for the position of the entrance to the farmstead enclosure or for any structures within the enclosure.
