Yesterday Chris Bevan told The York Evening Press: "I bought the house in July and was just doing some gardening when I found a Roman pot and some Medieval green glaze pottery."
Both items will need to be analysed for several weeks to see if they hold any signicant archaelogical importance.
He said: "I immediately knew what it was and was obviously excited. There have been quite a few finds of this type in the Holme-on-Spalding Moor area, but I never expected to find something like this in my garden. It's a real coincidence when you consider the subject I'm studying."
"It looks like I made a good choice when I decided to move here!"
Bevan and his colleague are going to enlarge their survey to include a neighbouring field and the garden at large where the pottery was found.
In the 1980s, an Iron Age boat was excavated near the River Foulness near to the community where Bevan lives.
Slightly misleading caption for the photo...I'd be well impressed if the student had found those Roman remains!
They did.
