A New Building-Inscription from the Saxon-Shore Fort at Reculver, Kent

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  29 November 2011

Extract

Excavations have recently been conducted at the Saxon-Shore fort of Reculver (Regulbium) by Mr. Brian Philp, through whose kindness the writer is able to comment upon the inscription here discussed (fig. i). Eleven fragments comprise a substantive part of an inscribed rectangular slab, of local calcareous sandstone, now 11½ in. high. All the margins except the bottom one are in evidence, and exhibit plain edges, as if the slab had either been set into walling or framed by ornamental features.
