Full Description
27. ROMANO-BRITISH BURIAL AT STALBRIDGE, DORSET. -On April 3, 1918, on excavating in the garden of Mr. G. Prideaux, of the Creamery, Stalbridge, for enlarged buildings, there was discovered lying E. and W. (facing E.) a skeleton in good preservation about 3 ft. from the surface. It had belonged apparently to a male of 6 ft. in height, and of good cranial development of the squarish type. The teeth were especially good. It had in its mouth a small coin much defaced (on which AUG only could be deciphered), of bronze, seemingly of the time of some late Emperor. The bones have been sent by the kindness of Mr. Prideaux to the County Museum. <1>
