More information : (This altar was previously recorded under NY 86 SW 2.)
Mounted on a modern stone base set in the front lawn of Low Staward is a Roman altar which once occupied the position of a quoin stone at Staward Tower. It was removed to its present position c. 1950. (1)
A Roman altar dedicated by the fourth Cohort of Gauls (2a) was incorporated into the fabric of a structure, possibly an ornamental gateway, at Staward Peel (NY 76 SE 2). It fell sometime between July 1947 and July 1948 and was re-discovered lying at the bottom of Harsondale Cleugh (2b). It was subsequently removed to Low Staward (NY 86 SW 2) where it now stands on a stone plinth at the edge of the lawn. (2)
