Manduessedum, Archaeological site in Warwickshire, England
The archaeological site contains a complex system of enclosures, ditches, and structural remains spanning multiple acres near the River Anker crossing point.
Established around 50 CE as a Roman fort on Watling Street, Manduessedum later transformed into a civilian settlement following the departure of military forces.
The settlement developed into a major manufacturing center for Roman pottery, with excavations revealing 70 separate kilns specialized in producing mortaria vessels.
The location remains accessible for research purposes, with regular geophysical surveys conducted to determine the southeastern extent of the Roman industrial areas.
The site contains evidence of a 5.5-meter-wide defensive ditch with preserved pottery fragments dating from the late fourth century CE.
