GLOUCESTER AND MONMOUTH. 
Some labourers digging a deep ditch in 
a field belonging to Mr. J. Leaser, at Con- 
derton, Gloucestershire, discovered three 
human skeletons, two of which were con- 
siderably decayed, but the other was quite 
perfect; the teeth appeared as white and 
firm as though the person had been interred 
only a short time: It is conjectured that they 
must have lain there since the celebrated 
battle of Tewkesbury, as a number of 
spears, swords, &c., have, from time to 
time, been dug up in that neighbourhood. 
At the King’s-holm, near Gloucester 
(which was a burying-place of the Ro- 
mans), a great many curious remains of 
antiquity have at different times been found, 
particularly stone and leaden coffins, Ro- 
man ‘legionary and other swords, parts of 
helmets, breast-plates, shields, heads of 
spears and arrows, cuirasses, a statera or 
‘Roman. steel-yard of brass, glass-beads, 
Tings, fibula, lachrymatories, Jamps,, urns, 
and various other articles of Roman pot- 
tery; also coins, particularly of Tiberius, 
Nero, Claudius, and the early emperors. A 
short time since, a bone of prodigious size, 
partly in a state of decomposition, measur- 
ing twenty-two inches in circumference, 
‘supposed to be one of the ossa innominata, 
or part of the pelvis of an elephant, was 
found there, in a bed of ,gravel, several feet 
below the surface of the earth, and which, 
in all.probability,. must have been deposited 
there nearly 1,400 years, as the Romans 
finally departed from Britain in 448. | This 
bone is in the possession of Mr. Counsell, 
of Gloucester.
