Extract

Although the so-called vexillation fortress at Osmanthorpe (SK 678563) in the Greet Valley, Nottinghamshire, is a recent discovery, fieldwork in the immediate vicinity of the site has been conducted independent of it in the past. This paper reports the results of recent work connected with what we shall term the castra and brings to wider attention some of the earlier work in the Greet Valley, combined with a consideration of its possible implications.

Before the Osmanthorpe fort was recognised, fieldwalking had produced sherds from within the area of the fort: March, D.J., EMAB ix (1966), 40Google Scholar; and from just outside to the south: Mackreth, D.F. and Simmons, B.B., EMAB v (1962), 21.Google Scholar

9 The fullest study of the possible existence of a Roman road in the Greet valley is by Wheater, op. cit. (note 3). Todd, op. cit. (note 7, 1973), 17–18, considers the question briefly; see also the earlier remarks of Penny, S.R., Derbys. Arch. Journ. lxxxvi (1966), 70–87.Google Scholar Whitwell, op. cit. (note 3), 67, accepts the existence of this road, because of the observed gravel bands, and likewise the existence of a road on the opposite side of the Trent, running SE from Ad Pontem.

10 Gravel band: Simmons, B.B., EMAB vi (1963), 15Google Scholar; section and possible continuation to the south-east; Wheater, op. cit. (note 3), 32–5. Wheater also notes other possible evidence for the existence and the line of the road.

24 It is now widely accepted by modern writers that the site is connected with the earliest years of the Roman occupation; e.g. P. Holder, The Roman Army in Britain (1982), 42–3; M. Todd, Roman Britain; 55 B.C.-A.D. 400 (1982), 80 (who refers to it as Edingley); S.S. Frere and J.K. St. Joseph, Roman Britain from the Air (1983), 39.

42 But see Maxfield, V.A., Britannia xvii (1986), 72Google Scholar, who doubts legionary fragmentation and prefers lack of discrimination in the use of military equipment. Cf. Coulston, op. cit. (note 36), 15, for an alternative view.

47 So, for example, in eastern England, the sites of Newton-on-Trent, Rossington Bridge, Osmanthorpe, and even Longthorpe have been postulated as dormitory sites for the construction of the fortress at Lincoln: cf. Hanson and Campbell, op. cit. (note 36), 80; Frere, op. cit. (note 36), 55–7.

It is unfortunate, too, that most of the literary authorities, Caesar, Polybius, Josephus and Tacitus and the so-called Hyginus, were describing campaign camps and hiberna (winter quarters)’; cf.

60 To this list might be added the pottery recovered by Dr J. Roy from the fields surrounding those of the castra over the period 1984–88. Most sherds were recovered in fields east of the castra (cf. J. Roy, forthcoming): (1) Forms 15/17 or 18 (F403) and 27 (F407, with flattened rim), South Gaulish: pre-Flavian; (2) Forms 30 or 37 (F409) and 37 (F411), South Gaulish: Flavian or Flavian-Trajanic; (3) Scrap (F400), South Gaulish: first century; (4) Form 18/31 (646), from Les Martres-de-Veyre: Trajanic; (5) Forms 18/31R (2: F404, F408) and 37 (645), Central Gaulish: Hadriani corearly Antonine; (6) Forms 31 (2: F410, F415) and 33 (F412), Central Gaulish: Antonine. We are grateful to Dr Roy for allowing access to his material in advance of publication.

80 In conjunction with other analyses which have been conducted on copper-alloy Roman military artefacts by Bishop, the patera handle was subjected to a series of atomic absorption spectroscoplc analyses in order to determine its constituent elements. These were identified as: Copper 72·8%; Tin 20 % Iron 0·37%; Antimony 0·37%; Lead 0·25%; Zinc 0·1%. The total identified was 93·89%. The missing percentages will include such elements as arsenic and gold amongst others, for which tests were not carried out. Oxygen present in the oxidised bronze would have also been burnt off in the test. Thanks are due to Mr M. Dobby, Senior Technician in the Department of Metallurgy at the University of Sheffield, for undertaking these tests.
