Foxholes, Hertford

Archaeologists in the vicinity unearthed finds indicating occupation in the late Romano-British period. The findings revealed that there were three principal phases of Roman occupation in the area, from ditch construction in the 1st–2nd centuries, a farmstead from the 2nd–4th century with a cemetery and corn-drying ovens, and a phase of pottery production in the 4th century. There is also evidence of buildings being constructed in Foxholes in the early-mid Saxon period from the 6th to 8th centuries, with sunken-floored buildings being discovered. ==References==
