Monument record TR 15 NW 1811 - Saxon Pits, South Side of old Marlowe Theatre & Watling Street
Summary
By the sixth or seventh century the street had gone out of use and was cut by a pit containing a Jutish and a grass-tempered sherd. This pit and the street were sealed by a thick deposit of 'dark earth' which contained patches of burnt debris, possibly from a timber hut.
