[TQ 8277 7337] Roman interments found. (1) A group of Roman pottery was found a few months ago by workmen digging for mud about 150 yds. from the shore of the Medway, N.E. of Lam-head Creek in the Stoke Marshes. It consisted of two urns containing burnt bones, four Samian paterae, a patera of black ware and a two-handled vase. These were stated to have come from one grave but there were evidently two interments. (2) Similar information. (3) Found at White's Works.
