A samian saucer and other Ro. pottery in the Mayer collection in Liverpool Museum were found c.1725-30 at Ash Workhouse (centred at TR 29255839), later the Brewery. Two Ro. urns were also discovered about 1862 in digging foundations for "Ash-den", now Pomaret", next to the brewery at TR 29325838. An amphora containing burnt bones found with other Ro. pottery c. 1886, "close to the Sandwich Road, at Ash, approximately one mile from the Saxon cemetery". [TR 25 NE 6] is almost certainly from the same site. Three broken amphorae are in the possession of the present owner of 'Pomaret' and further complete amphorae were in the possession of the previous owner, but these were possibly recent imports.
