blackwardine (1070 words) |
 | Blackwardine is located 2 miles south east of Leominster at SO 53 56. |
| Other excavations at Blackwardine have also produced a fibulae (brooch), inscribed pewter plate, a shale bowl and a Byzantine coin. |
| It has been suggested that it was the site of a Roman fort and its siting close to a number of hillforts, near to a Roman road, on a prominence with a water supply goes someway to backing up this theory. |

| The Roman settlement at Blackwardine (SO5356) is about 2 miles east of the joining of the Arrow with the Lugg. |
| After further reading, the settlement at Blackwardine is considerably larger than I imagined. |
| The settlement appears to extend west across the Roman road (Margary 613) in the direction of the mouth of the River Arrow. |
