| Abstract: |
On the basis of the fact that only two burials were encountered during excavation it is argued that a cemetery must exist on the outskirts of the fort. With this in mind a systematic search recovered a collection of objects which included twenty three burnishers or polishers, fourteen gaming pieces, ten fragments of beads, a portion of a glass armlet and a brooch. |
