History & significance

Inscribed stones in vicarage garden is a collection of carved stone fragments of Romano-British date, located within the grounds of a vicarage in Devon. The stones bear Latin inscriptions and represent material evidence of Roman occupation and settlement in the region, likely deriving from funerary or commemorative monuments of the Imperial period. Their preservation within the vicarage garden has ensured their survival, though their original archaeological context and provenance remain incompletely documented.
