Found at Usk, the Burrium of the Romans, during the excavations for building the new gaol: it is perfect, with the exception of a small hole made by the pick of the labourer who found it: there is no projecting spout, as is frequently the case, but merely a kind of gutter formed in the rounded lip. There are two large potter’s marks, one on each side of the gutter or spout: one of them…is very indistinct, having apparently been twice impressed on the same place, so that it is illegible.
