26 The site is on Mr. George Reeves' farm and the work was carried out under the direction of Mr. Basil Brown, of Ipswich Museum, where the objects, including Samian and Castor ware and Constantinian coins, are to be deposited. In the same field at the other end, it is said, the bath building of another house was opened in 1835 and 1849 (Suffolk Arch. Inst. Proc. 1, 74 ff., hence 6-in.

36 The Roman Road from Caerleon to Silchester (Swindon, Twitcher and Co., Ltd., 1948Google Scholar, price is.). The road probably crossed the R. Churn at Sluzham, near Cricklade, Wilts, where Roman objects have been found. It may be noted here that trenches across the earthwork surrounding the town on the hill at Cricklade in 1948 produced no evidence of Roman date and so confirms Mr. Passmore's view of its post-Roman character.
37 The work was carried out under the direction of the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery Committee by Mr. G. C. Boon (who sent information) and Mr. John Brown. The site is to be preserved by the city as an Ancient Monument. A brief account, with plan, has been published by the Bristol City Museum, where the small objects are kept.

39 The work was carried out by Mr. J. E. Stevens Cox, of Ivel House, in co-operation with Mr. H. S. L. Dewar and Mr. C. A. Ralegh Radford, from whose report the above is taken. It will be published in Ilchester Historical Monographs.

57 The piece was found in the Kaleyards in 1898, where it had been dumped among rubbish (presumably from an excavation) in the paddock of the Hop-pole Hotel (now demolished) which lay just outside the East Gate of Chester. The connection with the East Gate is thus closer than at first apparent.
