Four of the five in my PofTefTion were found in 
digging Sand, at a Place called Ryton near Condover 
(query whether Rut uni um), f Miles from Wrox alter 
(i. e. Uricontum ) in Shropfhire , about a Mile from the 
Watlingftreet Road : Thefe are all of the Size of a 
Roman "Denarius , and little more than the Thick- 
nefs of our Halfpenny. They are made of a fmooth 
Pot, or rather Brick- Clay, that feems to have been 
well cleanfed from Sand or Dirt, and well beat or 
kneaded, to render it fit for taking a Tair Impreflion.. 
Great Numbers of thefe were found, but, for want 
of Care, mod of them were broke in Pieces. They 
are deferibed N°. 1, 2, 3, 4, in the Account below. 
The fifth, which is twice as thick as any of the reft, 
was found at Wroxalter ; the Clay it is made of dif- 
fers but littleffrom the former ; and the Impreflion 
on it is alfo of the Size of a Dendrius } and of the 
fame TTime with the reft.
