 A mosaic is being unearthed in Colchester:

Predicted to measure as big as 25 feet by 25 feet, the fascinating find lies just one metre beneath the pavement in Red Lion Yard. Workers began a targeted dig in the yard, which is walked over by thousands of people every day, earlier this week.

 Colchester’s heritage boss plans to encase it and turn it into a transparent walkway for residents to tread the same path the Romans did nearly 2,000 years ago.”
