Title
A Roman sandstone tombstone fragment carved in the shape of a bull possibly relating to the Legion VI Vitrix
Description
English: A Roman sandstone tombstone fragment carved in the shape of a bull which is late 1st to 2nd century AD. It is 250mm long with a width of 170mm approx. It is possibly related to the Legion VI Vitrix from a cemetery site overlooking and adjacent to a Roman road from which other tombstone fragments are known.

Recent renovation work on a barn-wall, involving the removal of plaster rendering, has revealed a bull's head, sculpted from red sandstone. See also LANCUM-279651, LANCUM-277A53 and LANCUM-273C82 for related finds.
