Monument record TQ 67 SW 1404 - Semi-sunken feature Roman building, Springhead
Summary
Excavation in 2002-3 carried out as part of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link project found a semi-sunken feature building that overlay a roadside ditch. The building partly occupied a large hollow within the top of the infilled ditch. It might be suggested that this structure was used for baking or brewing on the basis of the hearths, ovens, probable storage vessels, and pits, as well as the concentration of quernstone fragments.
