Even in the best digs occasionally things reach the spoilheap which should not have reached the spoilheap. Today, Jamie has been out on site supervising the final wrapping up of the site for winter when he found this! Yes, it is what you think it is... In fact, this is not that much of a surprise, these kind of crude phallic carvings a pretty common on Roman military sites and were probably some kind good luck symbol. Surely a candidate for next year's t-shirt though!
