TOPOGRAPHICAL INDEX 



Abbots Langley. — The remains of a 'villa were found about 1825 on the borders of this parish 

 about 200 yds. north-west of the station ' (i.e., King's Langley station on L. & N.W.R. Hne). 

 According to the account, it stood on the eastern bank of the River Gade, somewhere quite 

 close to Home Park Mill (Dickenson's Paper Mills). Cussans, our only authority, states 

 that ' within the walls, a tessellated pavement was found, and also a coin of Hadrian, but 

 the excavation appears to have been conducted without much scientific ability.' No plan 

 was published and nothing further has been recorded of this building. • A gold coin of 

 Claudius (a.d. 41-54), perhaps Cohen type 43 [but pm instead of germ], was picked up 

 here some time in the 18th century; [Cussans, Hist, of Herts. Cashio Hund. (1881), 86; 

 Stukeley's Letters and Diaries (Surt. Soc. 1883), ii, 212; Camden's Brit. (ed. Gough, 1789), 

 i, 349]. The villas at Boxmoor lie about 3 miles north-west and further up the same valley. 



Aldbury. — A hoard, or perhaps two, consisting of 118 coins, some metal objects, potsherds and 

 animal remains, were dug up in making a road a few hundred yards south of Moneybury 

 Hill, Pitstone Common, and close to the column to the Duke of Bridgewater, in the spring 

 of 1870. The site may be just over the Hertfordshire border, in the parish of Pitstone (Bucks.). 

 The coins were of the following dates :

Cast coins of Pius (Cohen type 497) have been found at Richborough and Verulam.
