Archaeology Notes

NT53SE 20.04 5728 3434

NT 5730 3425 Ploughing in late December 1997 lifted to the surface a substantial, roughly dressed, square flag in red sandstone. Photographs were taken and the find made safe and reported. The find itself, though of purposeful shape, is unremarkable on a Roman site. Its location in a far corner of the E annexe may have significance: the find location is at the SE edge of the parade ground area delineated by altar finds, where paved areas, such as a tribune, might be expected (S Clarke, pers comm).
