RECENT ARCH^IOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES IN CORNWALL. 239 



Plans of the camp have been published by both Dr. Borlase 

 and Mac Lauchlan ; the former went to view the place on 22nd 

 May, 1758., and perceived the remains of the fort covered with 

 bushes and briars on the higher part of the tenement in a field 

 called the Rounds. 



Each of these observers has assigned to it the same general 

 form. Borlase remarked that it was dismantled in such a 

 manner as at first sight to appear to be oval, but on further 

 inspection it proved to be rectilinear with the angles rounded off. 



He has marked the place of the well in the west corner, but 

 Mac Lauchlan (in 1846) indicated it in the north. Perhaps there 

 were wells in both places. 



An entrance to the camp, in the middle of the north-west 

 vallum appears in each plan. Mac Lauchlan has traced a path 

 from this to the south-west corner, in which he has drawn 

 another opening leading to Bosens farm house. Outside this 

 corner, and outside that in the north, Borlase noticed rectangular 

 projecting works, — " procestria." 



Only the northern annexe appears in Mac Lauchlan' s map. 

 Dr. Borlase gave the size of the northern square projection as 

 30 feet in length by somewhat less in breadth, and has stated 

 that the camp itself measures nearly 152 feet from north to 

 south by 136 from east to west. 



The well is of special interest. Borlase has described its 

 being found, in 1756, by the Bossens farmer, who, on driving 

 oxen from the field, perceived that the foot of one sank deeper 

 than ordinary, at this spot. On searching, a perpendicular pit 

 was revealed, — a circular shaft 2^ feet in diameter, 36 feet deep, 

 the bottom concave like a dish or bowl. In its sides, holes were 

 observed, at due distance, capable of admitting a human foot. 

 This arrangement, affording a series of steps, served as a ladder 

 for the ascent and descent of the well. 



Rubbish, containing several objects of archaeological value, 

 filled the well. 



The following (one being inscribed) were found : — 

 (A). Jug; tapering to small mouth, handle extending from 



brim to bulge; height 11-inches, diameter at bulge 8£, 



according to Mr. Haverfield who has lately seen it, and who
