This bronze commemorative plaque records: Roman Column. This Roman column once stood within the great hall of the headquarters building of the fortress of the Sixth Legion (whose emblem was a bull) in the fourth century A.D. It was found in 1969 during the excavation of the south transept of the Minster, lying where it had collapsed. It was given by the Dean & Chapter to the York Civic Trust, who in 1961 erected it on this site to mark the 1900th anniversary of the foundation of the city in A.D. 71. Recorded plaque organisation: York Civic Trust.
