Full Description
PRN 60353
Romano-British coins, roof tiles, pottery, pipes and tesserae found in the field east of Ashby Hall and south of Markham's Plantation. In 1965 the area showed a scatter of fragmentary Romano-British pottery, tile and one small piece of Samian ware. Immediately to the south, in a small area centred on TF 0572 5506, a heavy concentration of Romano-British greyware was found. In 1977 the farmer reported no surface finds of pottery, but had noticed several large stones near the latter site whilst ploughing and draining the field. One of the stones was 0.6m square and 0.2m thick, with a central hole 0.05m across.{1}{2}
A Romano-British sickle was found in 1957 at TF 0580 5528.{3}
