1 (return) Antiquities, plate 50. Roy does not notice it in his text, any more than he notices plate 51 (Ythan Wells camp). They are the two last plates in his volume; as this was issued posthumously in 1793 (he died in 1790), perhaps the omission is intelligible.
2 (return) I saw this verandah while open. The whole excavations at Caersws yielded important results and it is more than regrettable that no report of them has ever been issued.
3 (return) A Bronze Age burial (fig. 6, D) suggests that the clay may have been worked long before the Romans.
4 (return) References are given by Watkin, Cheshire, p. 305, and Palmer, Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1906, pp. 225 foll.
5 (return) The words Church, Chapel, and Chantry often form parts of the names of Roman sites, where the ruined masonry has been popularly mistaken for that of deserted ecclesiastical buildings.
6 (return) I may refer to my Romanization of Britain (third edition, p. 77). This does not, of course, mean that they were not also occupied earlier.
7 (return) It has been styled the 'basilical' type, but few names could be less suitable.
8 (return) As to Bainbridge see my paper in the Cumberland and Westmorland Archaeological Transactions, new series, vol. xi (1911), pp. 343-78.
9 (return) See an excellent paper by Cumont, Revue d'Histoire et de LittÉrature religieuses, 1896, pp. 435-52.
10 (return) Sir Laurence alludes (p. 77) to a Caerwent inscription as unpublished. It has probably appeared in print a dozen times; I have had the misfortune to publish it three times over myself. Its meaning is not quite correctly stated on p. 77.
11 (return) Compare the Roman provincial bas-reliefs of Actaeon surprising Diana, with Actaeon omitted (R. Cagnat, Archaeological Journal, lxiv. 42).
12 (return) By the courtesy of the publisher of the Antiquary, Mr. Elliot Stock, I am able to reproduce two of these illustrations (figs. 23, 24).
13 (return) It is proper to add a warning that the traces of the 'circumvallation' are dim, and high authorities like Dr. Macdonald are sceptical about them. The two camps are, however, certain, and there must have been communication between them of some sort, if they were occupied at the same time.
14 (return) No doubt it is by oversight that Dr. Schulten omits to state that the view which he is supporting is the ordinary view and not his own.
15 (return) Gordon, p. 184, Minutes of the Soc. Antiq. i. 183 (2 February, 1725). It has been suggested that Gordon mixed up Birrens and Birrenswark. But though the Soc. Antiq. Minutes only describe the coins as 'found in a Roman camp in Annandale, ... the first Roman camp to be seen in Scotland', Gordon obviously knew more than the Minutes contain—he gives, e.g. the name of a local antiquary who noted the find—and the distinction between the 'town' (as it was then thought) of Middelby (as it was then called) and the camp of Burnswork, was well recognized in his time.
