THE ROMAN WALL. IOO 



dislocation by the workmen's crowbars." A quantity of pottery 

 was found there and in a field to the east of the garden. In that 

 field, he says, there existed till lately a well, known as the Roman 

 well. The well had been filled up, but the stone work was then 

 existing. 



Built into the front of Cadder House, twelve or fourteen feet 

 from the ground, is a stone having carved on it a laurel wreath, 

 supported on either side by what is supposed to be a winged 

 Victory, each standing upon a cornucopia which terminates in an 

 eagle's head, and within the wreath are the words — 



LEG. 

 II. 



AVG. 

 FEC. 



(Legio Secunda Augusta fecit) 



meaning "the Second Legion made it" (Stuart, p. 313). The 

 stone was probably inserted in the wall of some building or the 

 gateway of the fort. 



As a closing remark allow me to say that much of what is most 

 instructive and interesting about the wall — the sculptured stones 

 which tell of the nationality and religion of its makers and de- 

 fenders — is to be found in museums.
