Monument record TR 36 NE 35 - Roman burials and pottery vessels, Thanet Road, Ramsgate

Summary

Roman vases, paterae and flagons were found in 1872-3 when digging for the Granville stables, East Cliff. The vases contained human skeletal remains. A rhinoceros horn approximately 1m in length was also found. It was identified as that of a white rhinoceros; it has been interpreted as possible evidence that the Romans introduced live animals into the country possibly for the arena.
