^{page 336 note a} John Ward, Esq. of Holwood-house, caused the elevation of the spot to be accurately taken, and found it to correspond with the top of James's tower on the well-known eminence of Shooter's-hill.

^{page 337 note b} A little above this spring, and on the open heath, I observe an Earth-work of some strength with a foss on the southern side twenty-four feet in width, measuring from the top of the vallum to the opposite side. This runs across Keston Common from east to west, and seems to have been intended to protect the spring. A natural ravine, meeting this trench at right angles, forms a defence on the western side. The formation of the new line of road has destroyed the work on the eastern, where its termination cannot consequently be discovered. It may perhaps be of British origin, anterior to the construction of the adjoining camp by the Romans.

^{page 339 note f} This fragment exactly corresponded with the kind of stone of which the chest, fig. 1, in Pl. XXXII. is composed.

^{page 339 note g} Vitruvius gives particular directions for making this stucco; he describes the tile as being broken up with a hatchet. Should we not in the account of the Roman Bath near Stoke (Archæologia, vol. XXII. p. 31.) read pounded brick, for powdered brick,—meaning brick minutely broken, not brick reduced to powder?

^{page 340 note h} A perfect idea of the method of employing these tiles will be obtained by referring to the engraving of a Roman Sepulchre discovered at York, Archaeologia, vol. II. p. 177.

^{page 340 note m} Some of the semi-circular marks on Roman tiles appear to have been made with the fingers.

^{page 341 note n} Some of the fragments of pottery found at War-bank were of the finest texture minutely and elegantly ornamented. The interior of some of the vessels had been studded with pebbles from the gravel, not bigger than mustard seed, in imitation, I suppose, of mosaic work. Some of the coarser red pottery was compounded of clay mixed with broken oyster-shells. Some large fragments were found of urns rudely made of unbaked clay, without the assistance of the lathe, and decorated with a running cord-like ornament pinched up with the fingers, as modern housewives form the edge of a pie-crust. Mr. Croker has a large collection of these fragments, and will, I believe, lay drawings of them before the Society.

^{page 342 note p} Is it too much to suppose that this was the result of a missing blow from the victimarius, who sometimes, Montfaucon tells us, used the axe instead of the malleus? He also says “Dianae cervi immolabantur.” Montfaucon, tome ii. partie 1.168, 198.

^{page 342 note q} Mr. Croker's Notes say that tradition has handed down the name of this Town or City, and that it was called Beaverston, or Plaxton.

^{page 342 note r} Some marked thus, X, but whether ornamentally or for Legio Decima, I will not presume.

^{page 343 note t} In the direction of this line between Holwood-hill and Maidstone, another Roman fortification occurs at Old Borough Hill in the parish of Ightham. See the Ordnance Map of Kent.

^{page 345 note y} Mr. Croker has a beautiful fragment of stucco, most probably from the interior of this building. It is no doubt analogous to that sort called marmoratum by Vitruvius, but composed, as the material was at hand, of the stalactitical concretions of the chalk. It is painted in brilliant colours, with a pattern of interlacing circles, and forms resembling armorial shields.

^{page 347 note c} The bodies at War-bank lay north and south. See the plan. The head being placed north, the faces were towards the building which I have conjectured to be for sacred purposes. Nails are constantly found in Roman places of interment. Some were brought me with an urn, by the late C. A. Stothard, F. S. A. from Colchester. None that I have seen, however, equal Stowe's in size: they must, like the nail he preserved, be in these later days indeed “much wasted.”
