Roman coffin at Prince's village
Archaeologists have unearthed a Roman coffin and skeletons at the Prince of Wales's model village, a charity said.
The Wessex Archaeology team discovered the coffin, thought to be made of Portland Stone and which has now been removed, in Poundbury, Dorset.
It was found on a Christian cemetery for Roman Dorchester, along with Neolithic tools and Bronze Age pottery.
