The Natural Hijlory 
C H A P. X. 
Of Jmiquities, 
AN D thus having finifh'd the Natural Hijiory of Oxford- 
Pnre^ I had accordingly here put a period to my Effay^ 
but meeting in my Travels with many confiderable Anti^ 
quities^ alfo relating to Arts^ either wholly paft by both by Le- 
land and Camden^ or but imperfeftly mentioned ; and finding 
that I may as well alfo note them in other Counties hereafter, as let 
them alone : I have been perfwaded to add (becaufe perhaps a 
digrejjion that may be acceptable to fome) what I have met with 
in this kind^ whether found un^tx ground^ or whereof there yet; 
remain any foot-fteps above // ; fuch as ancient Mony^ Ways, Bar- 
rovps, Favements^Vrns, ancient Monuments of ftone. Fortificati- 
ons, isrc, whether of the ancient 5m^;7j-, Romans^ Saxons, Vanes, 
Normans. Of which in their order, 
2. Leaving the Antiquities znd Foundations of Churches ^nd 
Religion Houfeso their Dedications, Patronages, and foundation 
Charters-, with the/^e^/z^rm and defcents of Families znd Lands- 
isrc. as fufficient matter for another Hiflorian, and as too great a 
task.^ and too much befide my defign, for me to attempt. How- 
ever, I have taken care in the Map prefix'd to this Effay, to put a 
mark, for the fite of all Religious houfis, as well as ancient ways 
2ind Fortifications, except Brochky and Saucomh, both mention 'd 
in the Catalogues of Harp s field ^2.n6. Sfeed^, which I could not 
find out, though I fought them diligently. 
3. Of Britifh Antiquities thzt are certainly fuch, I have met 
with none here but fome pieces of their Mony ; whereof, as much 
as I find not defcrihed before, I have caufed to be delineated, 
Z^^. 15./^/^. 19,20,21. Of which the firft no doubt is a Coin of 
King Cunohelin, a King here in Britan at the time of the birth of 
om Saviour CHRIST; it (hewinga i/or/e, znd his Infcription on 
one fide, and an Ear of Corn and CAMV on the reverfe ; inti- 
mating the place of its coinage to be Camulodunum, the Royal City 
and feat of Cunobelin,
