Archaeologists have found an entrance to the Iron Age tribal capital
of Verlamion, precursor to the Roman city of Verulamium, and five urns,
several holding cremated remains, dating back 2,000 years.
The
ancient items were discovered at former school playing fields on King
Harry Lane, currently being transformed into 150 homes.
One of
the conditions of approval for the Linden Homes development was that
archaeologists could investigate the site before it was built upon.
The urns have been dubbed King Harry one, two, three, four and five in honour of their burial location.
