Abstract:		 St Helena School lies on the eastern side of the nationally important Late Iron Age and early Roman site of Sheepen, which is the northern focus of the oppidum of Camulodunum. It is also the location of two Romano-British temples. Groundworks included the clearance of ground slabs (covering 690m²) and the excavation of 222m of service trenches (gas, electric and drainage) around the perimeter of the existing school buildings. Part of the foundation of the north side of the outer precinct wall of Temple 2 was revealed along with patches of a gravel surface within the precinct. Trenches to the west of Temple 2 revealed two large Roman pits probably associated with the temple complex.
