Summary : A Roman tombstone was found here before 1946.
More information : (C SD 620999) Some time during or before 1946 men working
about 1 mile S of Low Barrow Bridge Fort discovered a "Roman
tombstone", which they immediately re-used to cover a culvert on
the Roman road. The culvert has not been identified but one of the mendescribed the stone to Lt Col O H North in terms suggesting that it
was one of a well known type, portraying a horseman riding down
a barbarian and including an inscription which contained the letters
"XX". The site of this find probably indicates the location of the
fort cemetery. (1)
