Find


Hodgson recorded that, in 1812, in digging up part of the walls he implied surrounded the supposed Roman fort, a silver denarius of Aulus Vitellius was found embedded in the mortar of the wall core. Surtees located the find fairly precisely in the site of a round tower, near the south-west angle of the cemetery.
