Braughing (Roman town)

Today the site is partially occupied by the hamlet of Ford Bridge and straddles the civil parish boundary between Braughing and Standon, located in the English county of Hertfordshire.

[1] Late Iron Age occupation in the area is represented by a number of ditches and enclosures and some excavated rectilinear timber buildings.

It appears to have had two population centres, on Wickham Hill and at Skeleton Green, but was never defensively enclosed.

[1] There was a planned street grid where thatched timber buildings, which lasted until about AD 60, were constructed.

Not long afterwards substantial masonry structures were also constructed, including an L-shaped building with bath suite which was still in use in the 4th century, perhaps suggesting some official function.
