  113|Cadbury Castle, or _Camalet_, Somerset, 166. The ruins of this
     |place proclaim it one of the most stupendous fortifications in the
     |kingdom. It is described to have been, in the year 1612, a hill of
     |a mile in compass at the top, having four trenches, and betwixt
     |every one an earthen wall, encircling an area within of about
     |twenty acres, full of ruins and relics of old buildings: great
     |number of Roman coins have been found here, and other works of
     |antiquity, among which a silver horse-shoe is mentioned by Stow. A
     |part of these ruins is denominated King Arthur’s Palace. The
     |rampart is made of large stones, covered with earth, with only one
     |entrance facing the east, guarded by several ditches. Various
     |opinions are entertained by different writers as to the origin of
     |this place; but the most probable conjecture appears to be that of
     |attributing it to the Romans.

   87|=Calne=, Wilts, 184. A borough and market town of considerable
     |antiquity, supposed to have risen out of the ruins of an old Roman
     |colony on the other side of the river Calne, near Studley, where
     |many Roman coins have been found. Here was one of the palaces of
     |the West Saxon kings; and it also had a castle, but there are now
     |no traces thereof left. The town is well built, and the church is
     |a large structure, with a handsome square tower.
     |
     |This town has of late years experienced many improvements, through
     |the patronage of the Marquis of Lansdown. It stands on the river
     |Marden, whence it has a good supply of water, and by the side of
     |which are many fulling and corn mills.
