Londhburgh , Sept. 1745. 
SIR, 
&^March 6 .T Ately we have difcovered (within four 
1745 * 1 j Miles of this Place) many Founda- 
tions in a ploughed Field, which have lain buried for 
many hundred Years; and there are no Records or 
Tradition of it : It was difcovered by one Mr. Hud- 
fon , a Farmer at Millington , as he formerly tended 
his Sheep on one Side of the Hill, and on the oppo- 
fite Side had perceived in the Corn a Difference in 
Colour for fome Years before 5 which led him this 
Summer to dig 5 and, happening on the Foundations, 
it encouraged him, Dr. Burton , and mvfelf, to dig 
likewife in feveral Places; and in one Part was dif- 
covered a circular Foundation five Feet wide, and 
the Plan within 45 Feet Diameter; by which I ima- 
gine it was a Temple dedicated to Diana, faid to have 
been at Goodmanham 5 but I could never, by many 
Trials, find the leaft Appearance of it there. The 
Diftance from Goodmanham to Millington is about 
5 Miles; and there were likewife many other Foun- 
dations which had great Quantities of Roman Pave- 
ments within them; by which I imagine, after the 
Diffolution
