Early medieval (c. 1000 - 1100, I think) Mikvah and ?Religious site have
been found in the City of London and Guildford, respectively. I am
racking my brains to think if any Jewish texts were found at either
Vindolanda or Bath (both Roman sites with lots of inscriptions). I have
vague recollections of a Jewish Roman Tombstone.

Cheers,

Pat
