The monument that occupied this position was much ruinous and
the coped sarcophagus top stone was removed and re-erected at 463 when it was
being taken down to make way for a new memorial. When the foundations were being
cleared for the new monument No70, three fragments were discovered and are
numbered here as 70-3, 70-4 and 70-5.
