NGR TO AREA OF TURNPIKE (B7).

In 1826, a small urn containing four small silver coins and three copper coins was dug up in a field near Hazlemere Turnpike-gate (SU 8788 9475). Nearby was found an arch of flints, supported by two side-walls, about the size of a common grave, the arch being not more than three feet long. About the site were found several broken Roman tiles, pieces of urns, and fragments of millstones. Some of the tiles were square, like paving-tiles, others had one edge turned up about an inch. (See SU 89 NE 10 for similar discovery or another version of the same) (B1)

The arch of flints was found within a stone's throw of the urn and about six months afterwards (B2).

No further siting information, the finds suggest the remains of a Roman building (B9).
