Monument record MDO43313 - Roman quarries and pits, Pamphill

Roman quarries, pits, and finds including pottery and a brooch, located east of Lake Roman fort. The quarries were probably used for the construction of roads within the fort.

SY 995992. In July 1988 a sewer pipe trench was constructed through part of Lake Roman fort and the field adjacent to its East. The latter revealed extensive Roman activity and included possible Roman quarries, used for the construction of roads within the fort. Several large pits up to 2.5m deep were also recorded. Pottery including amphorae, decorated Samion and Corfe Mullen flagons, and a bronze brooch were recovered. <1>
