From Brecknock I proceed to Abergavenny chiefly along the vale of Usk, through which the twelfth iter of Antoninus is supposed to have passed. As there were several Roman stations along, or near, this valley, as Gobannium, Burrium, Isca, or Caerleon, according to Camden, and Venta Silurum, now Caerwent, Monmouthshire has constantly engaged the attention of curious inquirers, and has already afforded very considerable and interesting remains of Roman Antiquities. But as some particulars have, notwithstanding, passed unnoticed, and others have not been faithfully represented, I shall submit to the judgement of this learned Society such observations as occurred to me in my researches through this county.
