The Roman Villa at Bo:r 



4 inches deep, which came from a southerly direction and 

 turned with two right-angle bends round their south-west angle ; 

 it then followed the west wall and turned again westward. It 

 was without doubt the upper part of the same drain that passed 

 under chambers XVI. and XX. 



In conclusion the writer wishes to record his indebtedness : — 



To the Eev. E. H. Goddard, for great help of various kinds, 

 including the descriptions of objects found in the excavations ; 



To the Council of the British Archaeological Association, for 

 permission to make use of the plan of the discoveries of 1881 ; 



To the Eev. W. White, for permission to excavate in his garden ; 



To Miss Burgess, for similar permission and information of 

 previous finds ; 



To Mr. Sidney Brakspear, for taking the photographs for four 

 of the plates ; and to Mr. J. Hardy, most particularly, for ready 

 help at all times with the measuring tape, and also for various 

 information in connection with the site and his excavations of 1898. 



LATEE EXCAVATIONS OF THE WEST WING. 



Since the foregoing was written, through the kindness of Miss 

 Burgess, the owner of " The Wilderness," a thorough investigation 

 of her garden was undertaken during the autumn of last year(1903). 



The remains discovered were not so complete as those in the 

 adjoining garden, already described, but were sufficient to enable 

 the complete plan of the western wing of the villa to be traced. 



The wing was the same length from north to south as the cor- 

 responding one on the east side of the court, and was divided into 

 two large and two small chambers. On the west side along its 

 southern portion, was a similar external passage to that on the 

 other sides of the villa, and against the northern part was a large 

 room, that had apparently been added at a later period.
