Thanks for that article.
I know that area well and was aware of these finds but not the details. (I think the local authorities try not to give too much publicity at the time things like this are found as they don't want to encourage illegal detecting which can cause a lot of damage.)

Kelshall is only a mile or two from Ermine Street, which was the principle North-South road of Roman times, and the much older ancient Icknield Way, the main East-West route, which cross nearby. The whole area is littered with Ancient as well as Roman sites and much surely remains to be dicovered. It's eye-opening how just busy the area must have been two thousand years ago.

P.S. Whoever wrote that wikipedia entry for Kelshall was clearly having a bit of fun!
