Find
Roman pottery has been recovered on at least two occasions from St. Stephen's churchyard, which lies west of the fort and within the area of the vicus. In 1893 a fragment of samian, bearing the potter's stamp MASCILLIO, was reported to the Society of Antiquaries, and in 1904 R. Blair donated to the Society two fragments, a large amphora handle, and a fragment of samian with traces of a stamp, D------VS.
