RECENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES IN CORNWALL. 



Mac Lauchlan, about 1847-9, wrote :— "The Eev. J. Wallis 

 has lately seen some Roman pottery recently dug up at Tregaer

 were afterwards given to the Bodmin Museum, and so have 

 become accessible to me for the illustration of this paper.

fC. S. Gilbert states (Vol. 2, p. 211), several ancient coins, — one of Julius 

 Cassar, another of Vespasian, — were dug out of the old foundation, whilst re- 

 building a part of Bodmin Church in 1816, and were in the possession of Rev.
