VI. J Letter from Mr Thoresby, F. % S. to the fuh^ 
lijher^ concerning the Veftigia of a Roman Town 
lately difcoyered near Leedes in Yorkfliire. 
IN obedience to your Commands, to acquaint the Society 
with any thing remarkable that occurs in thefe parts, this 
brings you notice of the difcovery of the Fefligia of a Roman 
Town, upon the Moor near Adel Mill, 4 miles from Leedes 5 
'twas found out accidentally by a Tenant of Mr Anhington, 
who endeavouring to plow part of his Farm, was retarded 
by a great quantity of Stone, immediately below the furfacc 
of the Earth, which he was forced to dig up before be 
could proceed, and has already out of the Foundations of 
Houfes, which they traced on both fides the Street, got fo 
many Stones as has built above 100 rods of Walling. At a 
very little diftancc is a Roman Camp pretty entire, *tis above 
4 Chains broad and 5 long^furrounded with a fingle Vallum, 
which from the top of the Agger to the bottom of the Trench 
is yet 22 foot deep in the place I meafured, but the extre- 
mity of the weather prevented fo particular a Survey as I 
N n n n n n n 2 defigned.
