An Insular Horse-Harness Fitting from South Shields Roman Fort, Tyne and Wear
A STURDY DECORATIVE PLATE OF IRISH TYPE, originally made as part of a horse bridle set but modified for attachment by rivets, has been found at South Shields Roman Fort, Tyne and Wear. The functional cruciform shape may have given it a contemporary Christian significance. The finely detailed ornament was gilded and in detail matches some of the finest Irish metalwork and illuminated Insular manuscripts of the 8th century. A dating horizon around …
Howe Mire: Excavations across the cropmark complex at Inveresk, Musselburgh, East Lothian
Excavations across the complex of cropmarks at Inveresk, Musselburgh, East Lothian (NGR: NT 3540 7165 to NT 3475 7123), revealed a palimpsest of features ranging in date from the late Mesolithic to the Early Historic period. The bulk of the features uncovered were previously known from cropmark evidence and are connected with either the extensive field system associated with the Antonine Fort at Inveresk or the series of Roman marching camps to t…
An Iron-Age Settlement and Remains of Earlier Prehistoric Date beneath South Shields Roman Fort, Tyne and Wear
Excavation of an area of over 750 sq.m. during 1992-94 and 1999 revealed a multi-period prehistoric site preserved beneath the Roman fort. Flints attested mesolithic activity. In the early Neolithic a segmented ditch may represent part of a causewayed enclosure. By c. 3000 cal. B.C. this had been superseded (in this area) by pits and shelters associated with flint-knapping. Finds, but not structures, attest a bronze-age presence. Within the perio…
