This one was a new to me but various people I have spoken to have known about it for a while. Asking price means I probably won't be acquiring it, and I suspect no museum in Britain will, so it may well be off to foreign shores. Read it and weep, people. It has already caused a degree of angst on metal detecting sites.
For those who need to know, Crosby Garrett is a small village about four miles south-west of Brough (interestingly, when I tried to access the roman-britain.org page for this fort Google (one of my DNS name-servers) went ape and warned me of malware - eh?! I mean, it's a bit garish, true, but I think calling it malware is a little OTT.
First person to attempt to squeeze it into the Robinson typology will suffer a death-ray from the Planet Zorg... and I won't bat an eyelid ;-) )
