Description

I allude to Mrs Miles, the wife of the rector of East Bridgford, who had long noticed fragments of pottery &c on the surface of the ground in several of the fields. Mrs Miles says that (Newton Street) "passes through a ploughed field, in which we gather every year numbers of specimens … and in the adjacent field near the spring, and apparently used to hold the refuse of the camp… (1) See E3142, E3158, E3159 for further work by Mrs Miles.
