Home Friends Roman Period Photographs Comments

The following pages are dedicated to the Roman site in Great Dunmow where in the summer of 2004  whilst digging the foundations to the garage a few bits of rims of  pots  were found. These pieces were taken to a local Archaeologist who felt they may be Belgic ware. 

The Curator of Saffron Walden  Museum came to see the site and we found that Stane Street went through the garden, consequently the Essex Archeologist came to see the plot and the many more pot shards found in it. The following pictures are of the plot, there are more pictures in the link at the top called photographs.
