More information : [NY 27304480] A pice of red sandstone measuring 9" x 6" and inscribed COH VIIII was found at Westward Vicarage in 1901. Haverfield says "it is one of the usual building records set up by the 9th Cohort of some legion" (1) but JRS says "this little sandstone slab inscribed COH VIIII appears to be a forgery (2) Also found at the same place was the moulded base of a pilaster 6" high. Both of these must have come from the camp at Old Carlisle [NY 24 NE 1(1)] now in Carlisle Museum (EE9, 1130) (3) (1)(2)(3)
