Abstract: A brief account is given of unpublished Romano-British artefacts discovered during the excavation of a prominent subrectangular enclosure (David Sturdy's Site C) in Levens Park, Cumbria in 1968-71. The dig was conducted to assess the potential archaeological impact of a new road across the northern end of the park. Finds included a silver denarius of Domitian and several types of pottery of different dates, including samian ware, orange Roman mortarium ware and Romano-British plainware, with dark grey to black surfaces and fabric. The positions of the finds are located on Sturdy's newly rediscovered excavation plan of the site.
