Two Roman coins in good condition were dug up in or around the Iron Age hillfort on Milber Down by a workman some years ago, the exact site being unknown. They comprise a sestertius of Antonius Pius, of AD140-144 (M & S No. 638) and another of Marcus Aurelius, of AD172-173 (M & S No.1075). A third coin of Marcus Aurelius, reverse Providentia, AD166 (M & S No. 924 and p.281) was dug up below the fort on the north side of the road from Newton Abbot. In Torquay Museum.
