| Abstract: | The third-century AD circular stone tomb beside Dere Street bears a relief taken by many to be a fox, but considered by the author to represent a bucranium, a common Roman funerary symbol but one rare in Roman Britain. A second sculpture, on the opposite side of the tomb to the first, represents a pine cone, another widespread motif in Roman funerary contexts. It is suggested that the superstructure of the tomb was not of stone throughout but consisted of an earth tumulus, like the rest of the known burials at High Rochester. | ||
