You pretty much can’t dig a hole in Colchester without hitting the Boudicca Destruction Horizon* and finding Roman stuff.
This is a genuine term, used to describe a feature consisting of ash and burned wreckage from the time when Colchester was burned to the ground during the Iceni revolt. There is something similar in London.
