260 The Roman Villa at Box. 
4 inches deep, which came from a southerly direction and 
turned with two right-angle bends round their south-west angle ; 
it then followed the west wall and turned again westward. It 
was without doubt the upper part of the same drain that passed 
under chambers XVI. and XX. 
In conclusion the writer wishes to record his indebtedness :— 
To the Rev. E. H. Goddard, for great help of various kinds, 
including the descriptions of objects found in the excavations ; 
To the Council of the British Archeological Association, for 
permission to make use of the plan of the discoveries of 1881 ; 
To the Rev. W. White, for permission to excavate in his garden ; 
To Miss Burgess, for similar permission and information of 
previous finds ; 
To Mr. Sidney Brakspear, for taking the photographs for four 
of the plates; and to Mr. J. Hardy, most particularly, for ready 
help at all times with the measuring tape, and also for various 
information in connection with the site and his excavations of 1898. 
LATER EXCAVATIONS OF THE WEST WING. 
Since the foregoing was written, through the kindness of Miss 
Burgess, the owner of “ The Wilderness,” a thorough investigation 
of her garden was undertaken during the autumn of last year(1903). 
The remains discovered were not so complete as those in the 
adjoining garden, already described, but were sufficient to enable 
the complete plan of the western wing of the villa to be traced. 
The wing was the same length from north to south as the cor- 
responding one on the east side of the court, and was divided into 
two large and two small chambers. On the west side along its 
southern portion, was a similar external passage to that on the 
other sides of the villa, and against the northern part was a large 
room, that had apparently been added at a later period.
