Almost 25 holes have been found in the grounds of the Roman fort of Longovicium, near Lanchester, County Durham, The land owner, Nick Greenwell, said damage to the site had been carried out in the last two weeks.
He said: “It is people using metal detectors coming in at night.
“It is an historic site and whatever that has been taken could be of great value.”
