I apprehend, is what Feftus calls the praefericulum 
[ Prajericulum, inquit Fejtus , vas ceneum, fine an/a, 
appellatum patens fummum , ut pelvis, quo ad facrijicia 
utebantur in Sacrario. Montfaucon, tom. ii. p. 142.); 
and by its gradually increafing thicknefs towards the 
bottom, appears to have been of like defign with 
that exhibited in the Jntiquities op' Cornwall , plate 
xxi. fig. y. p. 274. This vafe was of curious grey 
granite, formed by turning, well polifhed within, 
fomewhat difcoloured without, as if it had buffered 
by fire. 
The fmall millftone, by the fmoothnefs of one 
fide, fhews that it had been much ufed ; and was 
fuch, without any material difference, as is now ufed 
in the iflands of Scilly (and elfewhere) for hand- 
mills to grind corn in times of fiege and confine- 
ment, and muff be abfolutely neceftary in all forts. 
The bones and horns may be fuppofed to have 
belonged to animals, either facrificed, or killed for 
the fuftenance of the garrifon : the afhes, and half- 
burnt flicks, are the remains of facred or culinary 
fires. The fragments of leather are for the mod: part 
patched, and coarfely fewn together ; but one piece, 
which I found more intire, may contribute perhaps 
to fhew us the fhape of the Roman calceus of thofe 
times ; and may be feen jig. 7. by the fame fcale 
with the reft. Some bits of leather were alfo pierced 
with circular holes \ but whether parts of the calceus, 
cothurnus, or any border for the habit, armour, or 
vehicle of the officers, enough does not remain to 
decide. 
I fhall make no other refledlion at prefent on thefe 
antiquities, than that the infeription isjhe firft dilco- 
vered
