Fragment of tile stamped with Leg XX symbol and potsherd in light buff fabric were in 1953 in possession of James Parker, builders of Chester. Reported to have been found at Reaseheath Hall c.1933 but various authorities doubt this and think the material must have originated in Chester (1). Recent efforts to trace the material have been unsuccessful (4).
