Summary
The mechanical levelling of ground prior to the construction of the approach road (now Market Way) to the new cattle market off the east side of St Stephen's Road in December 1952 led to the discovery and excavation of a large Roman tile kiln and two Roman pottery kilns. The site lay on the north side of the river Stour, on gently rising ground.
