People fo well skill'd in Archite&ure as the Artifls 
at Rome . 
If 5 Delgovitia (as Cambden hints) be derived from 
the Britijh Word Ttelgwe , which fignifies Statues or 
Heathen Gods, this Place may lay claim to a Title 
on that Account, much fooner than either Weighton 
or Godmanham*, for here was dug up a circular 
Foundation refembling a Temple in all Appearance j 
being within of 47 Feet Diameter, and the Founda- 
tion was near five Feet thick* 
Near to this circular Building, but South of it, 
were the Foundations of two oblong fquare Build- 
ing, but with a ftrait Entrance, not two Feet wide, 
wherein I apprehend they put in the Fuel and Fire 
for their Sacrifices ; there being evident Marks of 
burning upon the Stones, they being almoft burnt 
thro' : Moreover, in digging in the middle of thefe 
two Buildings, we found about half a Yard thick of 
Afhes, wherein were fome few fmall Pieces of Wood, 
Fuel, and Pieces of Brute-Bones, chiefly burnt, and 
a great Part of an Horn of a large Deer, which I now 
have by me. 
Eaft of thefe were laid open the Foundations of 
another fquare Building, wherein we found the Pave- 
ments, Coins, &c. as are here reprefented in Tab. 
X. 
The Situation of thefe Buildings was very ftrong, 
being guarded on the South-Eaft and North-Eaft by 
a deep Vale, the Sides of which are very fteep. 
From what has been faid, 1 think there is nothing 
wanting now to prove this to have been the Uelgo- 
vitia , but to reconcile the Diftance as mention'd in 
the Itinerary .
