?GENIO DECC(I)I (Britannia xx (1989) 338 incised ring found at Old Winteringham (se945218))

    Unknown site in either the south-east or north-east quarter of Quadrant 12. If Dixio and Dicti are the result of a local Decci, it is entirely possible that a site south of the Humber (and north of Lincoln) has been overlooked for Dicti, and perhaps Lugundunum (R&C 140). Personal items are eminently portable, so the inscription Decci may be of no special consequence in locating the site.

OLD WINTERINGHAM ROMAN SETTLEMENT

    But Dicti of ND is has a geographical association with the north-east quarter of Quadrant 12. It is listed between Arbeia and Concangis of the Notitia Dignitatum, South Shields and Chester-le-Street. If we expect Dicti on roads linking South Shields and Chester-le-Street, the we must accommodate the Cosmography's Lugundunum also. Therein lies some difficulty, as there are no recognized Roman sites between them. We could postulate Roman sites at Jarrow and Wreckenton, or we could broaden the possibilities by considering a less restrictive interpretation of the ND where Dixio and Lugundunum need not lie between South Shields and Chester-le-Street.
    If so, the Deighton NZ3801 is just off the Roman road Margary 80a by 0.5 km. It has what is described as a "possible fortified manor house", survived by a rectangular "moat" of dimensions 85 x 90 m (approx). The early name-forms Dictune -ton 1086-1286, Di- Dyghton 1316-1536 (CDEPN) are compatible, though interpreted as OE dîc-tun 'ditch-settlement'.
