Description
Roman coins and a gold ring (PRN 29259) set with lapis lazuli and of uncertain date constitute the only objects found within the Chesterton Walls enclosure (PRN 00433) [<1a> <1b> <1c> <1d>]. <1>
Since the 17th century much of the interior of the fort has been cultivated, and finds of Roman coins here, noted by an early 19th century antiquarian, may indicate that occupation continued into the Roman period. <2>
Exact location within enclosure unknown. <3>
