Extract

Of the two collections which I exhibit this evening, the first consists of objects found early in the present year at Stanwix, the northern suburb of Carlisle. Carlisle itself is on the site of a small Roman town, which probably succeeded a fort of the first century; when the wall of Hadrian was built, its course was laid out so as to run about half a mile to the north of this site, reaching the river Eden after passing over the hill of Stanwix, on which a fort was built. The position of the fort, of whose plan and details we know very little, is marked by Stanwix church.

page 40 note 1 Three recent British examples may be mentioned: one from Wall (J.R.S. xv, p. 248, no. 6), one from Kirkby Thore (ibid. xvii, p. 216, no. 2), and one from Chester (ibid. xiv, p. 247, no. 14). These, I think, are the only ones found since the Newstead examples (Curle, Roman Frontier Post, 174 seqq.).
