Tessellated pavement found in 1852 under Castle Road, opposite Radnor Terrace, 18ins from the surface. Duncan posessed a glass unguentarium found with fragments of urns, mortaria, Samian ware and amphorae, upon the pavement. The pavement itself consisted of a bed of concrete and superimposed tesserae. Under it was found a coin of Diva Faustina and a classical head in terracotta (mouth of a mask-mouthed flagon). Wire noted "an ornament of metal gilt, moving on a joint, and has engraved on it some fabulous animal, it had originally been enammelled, some of it remaining". The artefact is said to have been found under the pavement but Wire thought that it was early Saxon. The object was later lost. Wire purchased several fragments of the pavement which was made with a centre of black tesserae, the outer part red. It had covered the entire width of the road, and not been wholly uncovered. The uncovered part measured 10ft N-S and 30ft E-W. Wire says it was only 23ins below the surface, about 3 yards S of the pond. Under the pavement was found a second bronze coin of Marcus Aurelius and a part of a mortarium with potter's stamp.<1><2><3><4>
