More information : A chalk block 0.22m by 0.12m, thickness unknown, found in 1971
built into the inner face of the west wall of the second Classis
Britannica fort (TR 34 SW 2, TR 319413) in the second course from thebottom. The block, which remains in situ, carries an 'inverted'
inscription which reads: [E]VSEB III IV IV. "The party of" Eusebius
"cut" three, four four "blocks". This seems to be a tally of work
done at the chalk quarry, apparently in three stages. Some damage
occurred at the end of the stone and removed the initial letter.
