^{page 64 note 1} Attention was drawn to this by Mr. A. Smith, Curator of the Newark Museum.

^{page 65 note 2} The mound has been thought to be a tumulus, and Bronze Age flint implements have been found about 200 yds. away to the south; it has also been conjectured that it might be the collapsed gate of the town of Ad Pontem. The presumed site of this station, where Mr. Oswald's excavation revealed civil occupation of the first to fourth centuries, lies half a mile to the north, alongside the present road.

^{page 65 note 3} A Roman occupation site is exposed in the present bank of the Trent, 200 yds. north-west of this excavation.

^{page 66 note 2} The Newark Archaeological Committee is very grateful to Mr. Neale for his ready consent, and for his tolerance of some interference with his farming operations.

^{page 67 note 1} I am very grateful to the Rev. M. V. Hardy, Vicar of Flintham, for allowing me to see these accounts.

^{page 67 note 2} Recent examination of the site on the ground and from the air suggests that it was surrounded by a rampart composed partly at least of clay and double ditches astride the road, like the civil site at Margidunum. Dr. J. K. St. Joseph has made available his air photographs, and Mr. K. D. M. Dauncey has examined the site. The writer is grateful to both, and particularly to the latter for thus allowing his tentative conclusions to be published.

Richmond and to Mr. Philip Corder for their advice on this inquiry while it was being conducted, and particularly to Dr. Richmond for reading this description of it. I am also grateful to Mr. M. H. Callender for comments on the fragments of amphora found at Langford.
