Monument Number 22584
Hob Uid: 22584
Location : County Durham Stanley
Grid Ref : NZ1900052000
Summary : Roman coins found. Possible site of a Roman signal station, now destroyed
More information : Hunter recorded the discovery of Roman coins within a "square fortification" at Stanley (a) (NZ 19 52) but enquiries in Stanley have failed to locate it. The elevated situation of Stanley and the possibility of a Roman Road in the vicinity might suggest a signal- post (? now destroyed by coal workings). (1)
