... this was the first discovery from Roman Britain of a man wearing lockable ankle fetters.

" ... the discovery of shackles in a burial suggests that they may have been used to exert power over dead bodies as well as the living, hinting that some of the symbolic consequences of imprisonment and slavery could extend even beyond death."

(Poor man.)

But maybe they just couldn't find the keys to the fetters.
