McFad. XII, p 3116-17 F 3021

The inscription appears on the top face of the stone, as it is set in the pavement. The traces of the letters, which remain consort closely spaced circular cuttings or drill holes each c. 0.02 - 0.03 m in diam. so closely spaced as to suggest inlaid dashes (lead?) rather than holes for the attachment of complete metal letters.

First noted (apparently) July 19 1962, No N15 ref. located. Probably uncovered in 1947.
