The next parish to the south of our own of Bradford Abbas is 

 separated from us by the river Yeo, and is the much-improved 

 and improving village of Thornford ; and in a corner of a field 

 to the north of that from which the Eoman remains were ob- 

 tained, described at page 41, were found, at about a foot 

 beneath the surface, the bottles now to be described. The 

 occasion of the digging was to turn up a small plot of ground in 

 the corner of an old pasture for the formation of a potato 

 garden, and it was in digging this not more than a "spit" 

 deep that the labourers came upon a row of five bottles, of one 

 of which the annexed cut is a representation, being a bottle or 

 flask of about the capacity of a pint, drawn half the actual size:
