^{page 241 note 9} Against it appears ‘Roman amphora and pottery found 1860’. The Director-General Ordnance survey sends the following description: ‘A slightly raised mound of circular form covered with fir and other trees. In 1860 Roman remains were found in this tumulus consisting of an amphora, the neck and handle being broken, 2 ft. 9 in. high together with a quantity of fragments of Roman pottery.

The excavation undertaken in 1924 showed that a superficial hole 20 ft. across and 4 ft. deep had been made in the top of the mound and filled with black soil in which a tree had been planted. It is possible that the amphora then discovered (now in the Colchester Museum) was associated with a secondary burial in the surface of the mound, since it is of markedly later type than any of the pottery found during the excavation here described.
