A ROMAN cemetery containing items of national importance has been uncovered in Herefordshire.
One of the biggest historical finds in the Marches has been made at Stretton Grandison. A complete wooden coffin – only the third to be found in the UK – was one of the items uncovered by Leominster-based Border Archaeology (BA).
A kiln, various urns and a working brooch were also unearthed, along with the remains of up to 19 bodies.
