A suspected Roman grave at Corfe Castle in Dorset County, England has excited archaeologists.
London, Sept 17 : A suspected Roman grave at Corfe Castle in Dorset County, England has excited archaeologists.
Michiel Bil, a Government worker from Holland, who is also a part of a metal detectors' club, accidentally made the discovery.
"I found the large piece of lead and stone and I was very excited because I had my suspicions that it might be a coffin. I called the archaeologist over and they also were excited and now it will be properly dug up this weekend and filmed on TV," said Bil.
According to a local Daily report, the BBC TV programme, the One Show, has already shown a film about the discovery.
Previous searches at Corfe Castle have uncovered bronze Celtic coins and Roman burial pots, which are now housed in the Dorchester County Museum.
