The steep oblique cut on the left-hand side, slightly curving, appears to answer the general slope of the mouldings on the right-hand side, and is difficult to explain on the supposition that the block formed part of the cladding of the arch-pier or some other part of the structure. A similar cut is seen on one of the small fragments. As in that case, what we seem to have is part of a statue pedestal, in fact the lower left-hand side of the cladding of a rubble-built construction: the sloping cut represents the end of the side which would have been placed against a pillar or one of the walls of the building. Slightly worn by tread at one spot.
Site Name: Vicarage Garden, Caerleon
Notes: Robber's infilling, south-east stereobate, and the north-east arch pier upon it.
