The Roman Town of Great Chesterford (Paperback)


This volume presents the results of published and unpublished excavations in Roman Great Chesterford and an account of the origins and development of the town. The principal archive sources were the antiquarian excavations of the mid-19th century, mainly by the Hon R. C. Neville; rescue excavations by Major J. G. S. Brinson in the late 1940s; and the Great Chesterford Archaeological Society excavations of the 1970s-90s. Great Chesterford is sited on the north-western boundary of Essex in the valley of the River Cam. It is a strategically important site that commands the entrance to the Fens through the gap in the low chalk hills, as well as a number of significant routeways and the tribal boundary between the Trinovantes and the Catuvellauni.
