Monument record TQ 67 SW 1760 - Lean-to building within temple complex at Springhead
Summary
During excavations undertaken between the southern side of Watling Street and the northern side of the temple complex at Springhead various structural features were uncovered which point to the presence of a lean-to building located here. The building appears to have utilised part of the temple complex’s enclosing wall on its northern side. It is possible that it is associated with a quantity of ovens which have been located within the immediate area. (location accurate to the nearest 10m based on available information)
