Fourthly , That they could always have a fuf- 
ficient Quantity of Provifions, and never want Water, 
even in the hotteft Summers. And, 
Fifthly , That there has been a Roman Station 
here, as is evident from the Roman Pavement, 
Coins, Tiles, and Foundations of the Ruins : And if 
the Romans had had a Station at Weighton , Godrnan - 
ham-> or Londesburgh , they would fcarce have had 
one fo near the other. 
All thefe Things concur in proving this to be the 
Site of FDelgovitia ; and there is or can be no Argu- 
ment brought againft it > except that, by the Itinerary , 
the Diftance from Fboracum by FDerventio, is fet 
down at XX M. *P. and by our Meafure the Diftance 
from Fork to the circular Foundation, in the Camp, 
is only 17 Miles, one Quarter, and 55 Yards 5 fo that 
there is above two meafur’d Miles and one half Dif- 
ference. In Anfwer to this, I fay, May not the Iti- 
nerary be as wrong here as in fome other Places 5 
which is very evident in feveral Inftances ) And as it is 
wrong in fome others, I doubt not but it may be fo 
in this: Befides, the Romans might calculate from 
the Center of Fork ; and this Menfuration only goes 
from the Bar at Walmgate to the circular Foundation 
in the Roman Camp. But fuppofing the Itinerary 
to be exaftly right, yet, when the Difference betwixt 
the Roman Mil . Raff, and our Miles is calculated, I 
believe it will end all Dilput.es on that Score.
