Monument record TQ 77 SE 159 - Romano-British site, Four Elms Roundabout A289, Frindsbury Extra
Summary
A large rectangular enclosure, 70 m by 64 m, was found during an excavation in 1997. Little evidence of occupation was found and there were few internal features. Based on finds from a ditch this monument has been dated to the late first or early second centuries. Occupation on the site seems to have continued into the very late 3rd century, possibly the early 4th century.
