 212 ANCIENT CAMBRIDGESHIEE. In directing attention to the Tuiunlus on Fleam Dyke, I must not confound the circular foundations of clialk discovered at its base with the other contents, for though the Roman remains, coins of both higher and lower em})ii'e, with one of the British Cunobeline, all taken from the debris of a building, may not be without importance as referring to the origin of the fosse, to discuss them ^Yould furnish materials for a separate dissertation. A similar remark ap})lies to many of the antiquities and sites I have occasion to n(jtice ; I have therefore determined merely to enumerate all those specially deserving of notice m succession, com- mencini;- with the point in Cambridgeshire most distant from Audley End as my centre, namely, Dullingham, whence I have a small Roman vessel. Hare Park has produced a fine leaf-shaped spear head of white silex, ploughe'd up there. Cambi'idge presents abundance of Roman remains of all kinds ; a gold coin of Cunobeline, discovered near the College walks, is in the possession of Mr. Litchfield. Bottisham claims notice on account of the Romano-British Tunuili in the vicinity ; Great and Little Wilbraham are reniaikable for the discoveries of Roman coins of both empires and remains, and more especially for the extensive Saxon cemetery described in the " Saxon Obsequies." "* Fulbourn has produced two leaf-shaped swords of yellow bronze, with Roman coins ; and the late Richard Manning, a pensioner residing near the spot, described to me, to use his own words, "a square brick grave in which were some glass and pottery vessels, which he saw broken into here, several years since, by workmen wlio destroyed them." I WouM fain take advantage of this occasion to enquire whether any record is extant, or an}-^ vestige exists of such a (bscovcry. I^Iutlow Hill and Fleam Dyke have already been noticed.
