vour of Peter Le Neve Efq; Norroy King at Arms, an 
opporttinity of perufingtbat \^encrable Record Domefdaj- 
Book in the Exchequer, I found befides and Echope 
beforementioned, another Place in the Neigh bourhcod, 
call’d Burghedurum or Burgdunumy which I am now 
ready to conclude, was the Ancient Romm Name of this 
Station: That the Itineraryvis filent herein, is no Argu- 
ment againftit^ for none, I prefume, do imagine that 
the Names of all the Towns in the Province are there 
recited, but only fuch as lie upon thofe Roads that are 
particularly mention’d ; but that it has, at leah, the Ap- 
pearance of a Romm Name may be argued, becaufe 
Burgi was the common Name whereby they called fuch 
Caitles or Forts as were convenient for War, and well 
Rored with Provifions of Corn, as appears by the Au- 
thorities quoted by Camden and Burton in their Notes up- 
on the Roman Verter^y or Burgh under Stanemoor ; and 
the Burgundians rec’d their Name from their inhabiting 
fuch CaRles ; and t© me it feems probable, tliat the fmaU 
fquared Stones, wherewith the very Antique Church at 
Mel is built, were brought from the Ruins of fuch a 
Caftle, and gave rife thereby to an old Tradition, which 
continues to this day, that AdeUChurch once Rood' upon 
Black-hilly the place w^here thefe Roman Monuments were 
found y the elevated fituation of which place fudiciently 
accounts for the termination of the Name, the Gauli(b 
or^BritiJh Dunuwy which fignifies a Hilly or Mountain- 
ous Place, being naturalized in the Roman Provincial 
Language. I fhall only add, that within a Mile of it, 
there are two fcattering Houfes, that do to this Day re- 
tain the Name of Burden- (fov Burgdun-) Head,
