Aylesbury has been the site of previous Roman finds (see post below), including a brewery.

During excavations for a housing project between 2007 and 2016, four Roman-era eggs were discovered. One had already been broken and two were damaged during the recovery. One egg was extracted intact. In fact, a CT scan has recently confirmed that the egg still has its liquid contents inside.

Remains of an oak and willow basket were found.
