Monument record TR 04 NW 20 - Roman pottery, possible cremation burial, King's Wood

Summary

Sherds of Roman pottery and an almost complete flagon of early 2nd century Romano-British ware were found in fields near King's Wood The findspot is at a particularly prominent location on a bank overlooking the Wye river. It is also surrounded by a complex of banks, pits, old quarries, and sunken roads. During a survey of the site a patera drinking vessel was found, contemporary with the first vessel. As a result of this it has been suggested that these discoveries may have been from the same cremation burial deposit.
