EXPLAKATIOX OF THE PLATES. 165 



PLATE X. 



Large Buildixg near Western Rampart. 



To the left are seen the pedestals, which appear to have once supported 

 the pillars of a portico. There can be little doubt the entrance was between 

 the piers opposite the two nearest pedestals. Since the photograph was 

 taken the whole area, not represented as excavated in the picture, has been 

 uncovered. The building was found to be very large, a rectangular oblong 

 in form, with buttresses outside, and pavement throughout its whole extent, 

 except in the south-west corner, within. In the Plate is shown a very sin- 

 gular pier, not part of the above, of apparently British, Post-Roman, work. 

 It is at the end of the large building, opposite the farthest pedestal. It was 

 built of stone, bedded in clay instead of mortar. From that pier, aloug the 

 side wall of the large building, ran one of the curious, paved, footpaths, 

 raised on pebbles from the mouth of the River, and manifestly of later date 

 than the Roman occupation of the Station. 



PLATE XL 



Arched Chamber. 



This Chamber is at the south-west corner of the great building shown in 

 Plate X. It is near the pillar built of stone and clay. When found it was 

 quite full of clay and stones from the shore. Many of the stones employed 

 in building it had evidently been used in previous edifices. It had been 

 filled with arches, which supported the floor above. One perfect arch was 

 left, and the piers of five or six more. These are shown in the Plate, inside 

 •the Chamber, on each side. 



PLATE XII. 



Grave with Skeleton. 



Situated in the burial place of the Station. The skull is seen at the left 

 hand end of the narrow structure of stones built round the corpse. The soil 

 above and below is sand. Many others were found thus buried in tliis place : 

 many urns also, with calcined ashes within, and marks of fire around. 



PLATE XIII. 



Detailed Plan of Site of Station. 



This Plan shows the exact site of the Station, and of all the Excavations 

 made by the Committee of Exploration, together with all the Streets, cither 

 built or laid out, upon the site to the present time. It will, consequently, 

 enable future discoveries, should any be made, to be idcntilicd as to locality, 

 and to be compared, as to results, with those already achieved.
