An interesting and no doubt important 2000 year-old Roman Fountain Garden Ornament, found in Colchester back in 1998 now thought to be of immeasurable value. Has been "thrown-out" by the local council, due to the fact it was said to be "too big to store."
Reportedly the item was damaged in excavation and through exposure to the British weather and may have been too expensive to restore. Colchester council, have stated a balance must be struck with the level of public funding and storage space available, for such items and occasionally difficult decisions must be made.
