|. since Ivifited this place, Mr. Senhoufe has favored me with an
account of other difcoveries, made by the removal o f the earth,
that covered the reliques o f this ftation : the ibreets and foot-ways
have been traced paved with ftones from the ihore, orfreeftone from
the quarries : the laft much worn by uie. Many foundations of
ihouies; the cement ftill very ftrong-, and the plaifter on fome
¡remains of walls,, appears to have been painted with what is now
Link color; feveral vaults have been difcovered, one with free-
ftone Heps much ufed: fire hearths open before, enclofed with a
Circular wall behind: from the remains of the fuel it is evident,.,
that the Rjimans have ufed both wood and pit coal.. Bones, and
teeth of various animals ; and pieces o f horns o f ftags, many o f
the latter fawed, have been found here: alfo ihells o f oyftefs,
mufcles, whilks and fnails. Broken earthen-ware and the handle
of a large velTel, marked A E L . Fragments o f glafs veflels and
mirrors; and two pieces o f a painted glafs cup, which evinces the
antiquity of that art.
f?' An entire altar found ire the fame fcarch,. is to be added to -the-
preceding: three of the fides arcjplain : the fourth has a hatchet
ffxadtly refembling thole now in ufe,. .and,a broad knife, or rather
eleaver,. with which the victims were cut up.
: But the moft curious difcover-y is a ftqne three feet high, the
topformed like a pediment, with a neat fcollop fhell.cut in the.
middle. From -each, fide the pediment falls a ftrait corded molding;
and between: thofe,. juft beneath the fcollop, is a mutilated
figure, the head, being deftroyed; but from the body which is
eloathed with die Sagum, and the bucket which it holds in one
hand:.
