  • This group of objects was discovered a few inches below the modern ground surface in a garden. It is one of the earliest Roman cremation burials in Wales, dating to about AD. 60. The two large broken jars contained cremated bone and soil. The white war flagon and small beaker probably contained offerings for the dead. Two small bronze brooches were also found with the cremations. Source: Display text, Abergavenny Museum
