Monument record 4946/0/17 - Roman Building With Two Inhumations, Relationship Uncertain

{1} Double burial lay just to south-west of stone building revealed during topsoil stripping.

{2} This is soon replaced by a simple stone founded rectangular building 11.5m long by 6m wide in Phase 5 (late 3rd-late 4th century AD) of Trench E. This building, with its long axis orientated north west-south east lay perpendicular to the course of the main road and was set some 50m back from it (4946/0/9). A small malting kiln or drying oven lay in its interior, as did two inhumations, though the stratigraphic relationship of the latter to the house was uncertain.
