Scientists have shed light on the true origins of the so-called "first black Briton".
The skeletal remains - dating from Roman times - were previously thought to belong to a woman from the sub-Saharan region.
This had led her to be dubbed "one of the earliest Africans in Britain".
But scientists have now said they cannot find DNA evidence that indicates she had recent ancestry from Africa.
They detailed in a paper published online on Wednesday that she actually had a strong genetic similarity to individuals from rural Britain.
She likely had blue eyes, between pale and dark skin and light hair, scientists added.
A craniofacial reconstruction of the ancient skeleton had previously depicted her as having curly black hair, brown eyes and dark skin.

Thousands of drivers could have speeding fines cancelled after a fault saw some cameras falsely triggered on English motorways and A roads.
And tens of thousands of drivers will have speed awareness courses cancelled as the government orders National Highways to look back at six years of speed camera data.
National Highways said it had found 2,650 wrongful speed camera activations since 2021 due to a delay between cameras and variable speed signs.
Not all camera activations are enforced, so not all of the wrongful activations will have resulted in fines.
Affected drivers will be contacted by police and be reimbursed for any fines while points will be removed from their licences where needed.
More than 36,000 drivers have been told by police their speed awareness courses are being cancelled as a precaution while the speed camera issue is investigated.
