196 ROMAN BROUGH : = ANAVIO. 



III. — Architectural remains. The excavations did not yield 

 many architectural pieces. The drum of a column from the 

 well and a fragment of another from the north-west of the 

 praetorium were the chief. They corresponded nearly with a 

 moulded base (Fig. 7, No. 2) which has for a long time been a 

 conspicuous object in the wall opposite to the farm below the 

 field of excavations. 



IV. — Other stone objects are grindstones, and a large stone 

 dish or trough (Fig. 7, No. 1). 



V. — Catapult (balhsta) balls of gritstone, of diameters ij, 

 3^, 4, and 6 inches respectively. 



VI. — The few coins were, with one exception (not found 

 in the well itself), all of the small size characteristic of the 

 fourth century. The exception was of larger size and probably 

 a second brass, dating from the second century, found in the 

 vicinity of the praetorium. All were very much corroded and 

 none have been deciphered. 



VII. — Numerous pieces of glass and other small objects 

 were found, but consideration of them is postponed until they 

 are supported by cumulative evidence. One interesting fact 

 may be noted in conclusion. The soldiers seem to have spent 

 much of their time whittling down sheep bones to make bone 

 pins : this was particularly noticeable in the northern corner, in 

 the position of the sentry tower.
