comment:
"In the orchard at Great Bulmore, about 2 km. north-east of Caerleon fortress, together with seven other inscriptions, RIB 363, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 377, and a stone trough. They lay on a stone foundation, W. W. 6.7 × H. H. 4.6 m, and appear to have formed part of a communal tomb with the remains of urns, burnt bones, ashes, and one coin, a ‘first brass’ of Trajan" (RIB 359)

Not entirely sure that I have located the orchard precisely.
