Monument record TR 15 NW 1955 - Anglo-Saxon Street Metallings, Beer Cart Lane
Summary
A layer suggesting possible agricultural activity lay over the late Roman deposits, it contained pottery dating from 8th to 11th century. At the frontage of Beer Cart Lane the agricultural layer was overlain by the edge of a metalled street aligned roughly east-west. The street, probably late Saxon, was a major road leading to London and continued in until the late 13th century. A number of pits had been dug into the street surface in 11th century.
