Monument record 8431 - Roman Rubble Foundations and Plinth Stone, North of Eccleston Avenue (Mr Schroder's Garden)

During excavations 1929 in Mr Schroder's garden c.100m north of Eccleston Avenue (which at the time was under construction), two rubble foundations, ‘five yards apart’ were recorded (1). They were found in the same location as one cremation burial and two additional urns (CHER 8385/5), but due to the limited amount of information available on this discovery, the relationship between the two is unclear.
