| Abstract: |
Note concerning an anomalous feature at the site of the Hadrian's Wall fort of Birdoswald. Excavations were undertaken during 1996 following damage to the site by cliff-edge erosion.

There were indications that the feature had been disturbed in the past, and no finds were made from the cist fill that were earlier than Roman in date.

The feature is discussed in relation to similar cists in northern England and Scotland. Includes |
