IX. An Account of the Discovery of Anglo-Saxon Remains at Kemble, in North Wilts; with Observations on a Grant of Land at Ewelme to the Abbey of Malmesbury by King Æthelstan, in the year 931
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2012
Extract
In the month of July last, while engaged in some antiquarian inquiries on the borders of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, I accidentally heard of the discovery of sepulchral remains in the village of Kemble. Convinced from the account I then received, that these relics were of the Anglo-Saxon period, I lost no time in proceeding to Kemble, where I obtained abundant proof of the discovery, and a sufficient description of the objects discovered, to satisfy me that my conjectures were well founded.

page 114 note a This conjecture seems in some measure supported by the fact that the coins of Allectus, the murderer and successor of Carausius, though equally common, are not found so frequently in Anglo-Saxon graves. Mr. Wylie mentions the finding of a small brass coin of Allectus at Fairford, but it was not pierced for suspension.
