Description
In January 1930 a Roman internment was found at the back of Mr Clark's garage (next south to the Grosvenor Hotel). According to the workmen a wooden chest at least two feet long was discovered at a depth of about three and a half feet. The angles were bound with bronze plates, and there were other bronze attachments. One end of this was broken to pieces and all the fragments reburied. The platter was stated not to have been in the chest, but when seen it had two iron nails adhering to it.<1><2>
