Mentions that the Roman skeleton was found on the site of the new infant school-room at Steeple Aston and that it was found with its head facing north and metal bracelets on the wrist bones. The text below this information is a seven verse poem inspired by the woman's remains. A note by Mr Percy Manning below indicates that the bracelets fell into the possession of Reverend C.C. Brookes, who passed them to the Ashmolean Museum. | ||||
