Archaeology Notes

NS56SE 35 5744 6264.

Mr Gavine (C Gavine, 74 Torrisdale St., Crosshill, Glasgow) states that many years ago, probably about 1875, Roman (?) coins were found on a small hillock which stood at what is now the junction of Moray Place and Vennard Gardens (NS 5744 6264). His informant, Mr W Taylor, over eighty years old in 1945, recollects that as a boy of ten or twelve, he had often seen coins picked up by the potato-diggers in the field then called Moray Park. The coins "were all of copper about the size of a penny but a little thicker," and Mr Taylor believed them to be Roman.

If so, they were probably imperial bronze coins of the first, second, or early third century AD.

No further information was found during fieldwork. The site is built upon.
