Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Coventina's Well Now the swampy source of a spring. "When the area was excavated in 1876, the top was choked with stones. Below came a mass of coins, followed by carved stones, altars, more coins, jars and incense-burners, pearls, brooches and other votive objects in an indiscriminate mass. In total, [John] Clayton retrieved 13,487 coins (four of gold, 184 of silver and the rest of bronze). The well was dedicated to a water-goddess named Coventina." {Source: J Collingwood Bruce's Handbook to the Roman Wall.} In the distance are the western ramparts of Brocolitia (horizon, left), Camps Plantation in NY8670 and the Mithraeum (just over 100 yards away, mostly hidden in a fold in the ground, by the fence in front of the right hand edge of the plantation). |
