There are six entrances, but
     |several of these do not appear to have belonged to the original
     |work. The principal one towards the east is defended by a strong
     |and detached out-work, and there is also on the west side another
     |defended by an out-work of an irregular form. The inner rampart is
     |very strong, fifty-two feet high, and is of a more regular
     |construction than the outer vallum. The circumference of the
     |exterior ditch is nearly a mile. Many vestages of British and
     |Roman antiquities have here been discovered.

     |inhabitants.

     |
  126|Yeobridge, Somerset, 168.
     |
  120|=Yeovil=, Somerset, 141. A market town and parish near the river
     |Yeo, or Ivil, containing 747 houses, and 2774 inhabitants. Many of
     |the streets are wide, and the houses well built of stone and
     |brick. The church is a fine old Gothic structure, with a high
     |tower, containing six bells. This town was formerly noted for its
     |manufacture of woollen cloth; but its principal mart now is that
     |of leather gloves. The town is well supplied with water, and the
     |market, which is held on Friday, is very considerable for lean
     |cattle, and all kinds of provision.

⁂ _Although every possible care has been taken to render this work the
most complete of its kind, and the Proprietor is unconscious of any
existing defect, yet, from the nature of the subject, alterations in
some few instances may have occurred (even since the information it
contains was collected), he therefore most earnestly solicits those
noblemen and gentlemen who may be pleased to patronise his book, that
they will condescend to communicate any information which, in their
opinion, may contribute to its improvement. Such communications,
addressed to the Publisher_, =E. Mogg=, _No. 51, Charing Cross, will be
most gratefully accepted and immediately investigated._
