 ROMANO-BRITISH HEREFORDSHIRE Wellington. — Pottery found near here, said to be now in possession of Mr. J. S. Arkwright of Hampton Court. Weobley. — A Roman coin of Constantine the Great, of the usual type, picked up near here in the 17th century [Dineley, Hist, from Marble, pt. 2, ccxlv (Camden Soc. 1868), with illustration]. Weston under Penyard. — The site of Ariconium ; see p. 187. Whitchurch. — The remains of a villa are thought to be indicated by a tessellated pavement which was found in a meadow on the right-hand side of the road to Monmouth, on the boundary of the parishes of Whitchurch and Ganarew. It has not yet been explored, but a number of coins have been found. Scoriae and cinders frequently occur, strewn over the surface of the fields, and if the ground is dug to a very little depth, there is found a thick and apparently deep bed of them, extending as far as Weir End in Bridstow parish (see under Goodrich) [Wright, Wanderings of an Antiq. 14 ; Arch. Journ. xxxiv, 363 ; Woolhope Club Trans. 1882, p. 258]. Withington. — A milestone said to be in situ on the Roman road near here [see p. 174]. Woolhope. — iSir^ Fownhope. 197
