- None recorded
Full Description
A minimum of three sherds of Roman greyware pottery and possible Roman tile fragments found on the recreation ground at Julian Bower, Louth. {1}
During trial trenching on the playing field off Julian Bower, Louth, a single sherd of Roman grey ware vessel was retrieved from the topsoil in trench 1. A single flake of Roman brick in a light orange fine sandy fabric was also retrieved from trench 2. All of the finds were recovered from topsoil contexts, rather than stratigraphically secure features, and were thought to derive from manuring scatters. It was thought that at least some of the finds may conceivably have been imported to the site during the 20th century landscaping of this area. {2}{3}
A small sherd of Roman grey ware pottery was also later found on the site by a local resident. {4}
