XXXVI. Account of a Roman Pavement, with Wheat underneath it, found at Colchester. By the Rev. Dr. Griffith; communicated by Edward King, Esq; in a Letter to the Secretary

Extract

Having received, from the Reverend Dr. Griffith, Rector of St. Mary Hill, the inclosed account of a curious discovery lately made at Colchester, I take the liberty to trouble you with it; that, is you esteem it at all worthy the attention of the Society, you may communicate it to them. I will only just take the liberty to add, that, in pulling down the old tower of the church at Mold, in North Wales, last year, a great quantity of grain was found buried under its foundations, in like manner; and that probably it was deposited in both places, in consequence of some ancient superstitious custom.
