It's not from York, but rather from a settlement at Scotch Corner (which the media are claiming is 'new' but I know of at least two digs on it in the past, one of them by me!), where the A66 leaves Dere Street to cross the Pennines (so an important Roman road junction). My theory is that it was made for a very very small legionary ;-)
