Dr Paul Sealey comments that within Great Dunmow there is evidence of a Bronze Age settlement to the west of the High Street, a Roman small town then develops around the junction of the Roman roads of which Stane street still follows its original course. There is no reported evidence of an earlier Iron Age settlement having existed. East Anglian Archaeology report 41, Excavations at Great Dunmow (1988) reports a lack of Middle and Late Iron Age pottery finds, at that time pointing toward a possible reversion to pasture in the area. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
