Find Spot record MDO46076 - Romano-British pottery sherds, Corfe Castle

NGD note 28-03-23: The NRHE-to-HER database record NRHE 457107 has been separated out into 2 distinct MDO records. MDO46076 covers the Romano-British pottery finds from the field whilst the Bronze Age bowl barrow is dealt with in record MDO7411. The applicability of event EDO1058 and some of the listed sources in this record now may be questionable as this record is only related to the Romano-British pottery finds but have been maintained for the sake of completeness.]

A small area of dark earth with a few Romano-British sherds and fragments of limestone was discovered at approximately SY 94788058. <2>

The field which includes the find spot at SY 94788058 is under luxuriant mowing grass. <6>
