This journey leads us to _Calleva_ another way. Mr. Gale has observed _Trajectus_ and _Abone_ transposed. The sum total here likewise is invariably in all copies CIII. when the particulars amount but to ninety-eight; whence we likewise infer a station is dropped out, as before, viz. Silchester, with the number X. annexed. Now it happens that number was not lost, though the station was; but was erroneously placed to Marlborough, being XX. instead of X. seeing the distance between the Bath and Marlborough is notoriously too much. Setting then X. mile to _Cunetio_, its real distance from our _Verlucio_, Hedington; it remains further to correct the number annexed to _Verlucio_, XX. for XV. the letter X being easily corrupted into an V. then we answer the distances on all hands, having a Roman road accompanying us, and complete the sum total set at top precisely CIII. and restore the whole to its ancient purity. When we reflect a little, that, take the matter how we will any other way, the difficulties are unsurmountable, I am thoroughly satisfied in these corrections. Much rusty old iron is dug up at the quarries by Brunham, probably of the Romans: it is a mile off Hedington. Upon the hedge of the hill which overlooks Hedington, as it bends a little southward, is another pretty little Roman camp, in an angle of the hill, of a square form, and as if not finished, or made for but a small time of abode upon an expedition; for neither _vallum_ nor ditch of any great strength: it is situate on a very convenient promontory, or rather _peninsula_ of high ground, the steepness whereof is a guard to three sides of it; the other has the slender _vallum_ made chiefly of the surface of the earth thrown up a little. From the edge of these hills is an indefinite prospect over the country of the _Dobuni_, the _Belgæ_, and _Durotriges_: the descent to it, as being on the west side of the hill, is very steep. I think this place is called Bagdon hill. [Sidenote: +Punctuobice.+] [Sidenote: TAB. LXIX.]
