More information : A Roman dedication slab to the three Mother Goddesses
(No 1318) of uncertain origin, but first recorded in 1858 built up
in the wall of Messrs Mitchell's printing premises, St Nicholas'
Churchyard (area NZ 250640). In Black Gate Museum (now Museum of
Ants, Newcastle University). (The Roman dedication slab together with
Roman altars - see NZ 26 SW 24, NZ 26 SE 29, NZ 26 SE 30 and
