Monument record TQ 76 NW 111 - Romano-British Street & Pottery under 38 High St, Rochester
Summary
Beneath the cellar floor of No.38 High Street and 8ft 6in. below pavement level, a strip of flint cobbling has been found running at right angles to the High Street. It extends westwards for 8ft 6in. into the cellar and to an unknown distance inside No. 36 and runs for at least 12 ft. to the south. A few fragments of second century Roman pottery were associated with it, and it is suggested that it formed part of a road or lane leading south from the main road Watling Street.
