Bilston, Castlelaw Crescent

Coin (roman)

What is recorded here

Castlelaw Crescent holds a Roman coin, small enough to fit inside a closed fist yet heavy enough to pull time forward. The metal may have clipped a wrist, bought bread or slipped from a pocket during an ordinary hour. That forgotten motion preserved more than any monument because it forced a human being to exist before history noticed them.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Bilston, Castlelaw Crescent as Coin (roman). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
