Roman coins found on Foxdown. They are shown enlarged, the actual size being just a little larger than a 5p. They have no monetary value but are interesting and are pretty clear evidence that there was once a Roman settlement in that area. NB “Foxdown”, now used as the name of a housing development, was originally the name of the hill at the top of Kingsclere Road (which the housing development is just a part of).
