Archaeologists excavating a field near the Senhouse museum in Maryport have discovered a Roman military altar.
Seventeen
altar stones were originally found on the site in 1870.This latest
addition comes after three months of digging on the site.
Volunteer John Murray, a Maryport resident, made the find. He told ITV Border:
"I decided to come back and do this year's dig as I knew there was something to find.– John Murray
"I was drawn to this pit in particular and I couldn't believe it when we realised it was an altar stone. It is a very special find."
