Full Description

A heavily rolled fragment of a lower Pa biface, recorded in field 212 to the immediate S of Margidunum. Its rolled condition suggests derivation from a local drift deposit, and by contrast with the upper Pa finds (elsewhere) cannot imply in situ activity. (1)
See L2020 for nearby finds scatter (which extends as far as this field), M1741 for Ro town.
