Archaeology Notes

NT53SE 20.16 centred on NT 571 343

NT 571 343 (centre) The Roman intaglio of a satyr and dog (Henig no. 171), formerly in private possession, has been reported for Treasure Trove (TT 85/98) and allocated to NMS (FRA 4421).

An enamelled dragonesque brooch (NT 571 343; by S gate), iron spearhead (NT 569 342; S annexe) and samian base (NT 571 345; fort area) were found casually on the site. The samian bears a graffito 'PRIM...'. The finds were claimed as Treasure Trove (TT 149/98, 19/99) and allocated to NMS.
