A Ro circular lead tank was found by metal detectorists and partially exposed. It was in two halves, lying one on top of the other. An area of c 6m x 7m was topsoiled, revealing that the tank was lying in a pit cut through an intersection of ditches. The ditches contained late C1 BC to late C4 AD pottery. One half of the tank is elaborately decorated with a medallioned Chi-Ro, several crux decussata, floral scrollwork, human figures and an inscription, making it unique amongst circular lead tanks.
