Context (Amendments / updates)
Z 22453 - Z 22455 were likely donated to the museum by Dr John Alexander, who gave material from the Manor Farm Arbury Road excavations in the 1970s and the 1990s. He was originally also listed as the excavator, but the unpublished report states that it was David Trump who directed the excavations at Site AR I, where this stonework was almost certainly excavated. The Source field has been updated accordingly.
