There is no doubt, as you observe, that the Romans inhabited the fenny parts of Cambridgeshire very early; the stupendous banks still remaining shew them to have first undertaken the draining, and their coins frequently found in the Great Level tell us, they remained here at least till Gratian's time; for, besides these found at March, multitudes have been dug up in other places not far distant, as at Elme, part of which fell into my hands, of which I enclose a catalogue; and at Welney, whence I had most of my Carausius's, particularly that which you are so kind as to accept. Many other monuments also of them have been discovered, as an altar at Elme 21 inches high, but no ways remarkable, and the pipes of aquaducts at Wisbich and Walpole. The urns which contained the coins at Welney lay within reach of the plow-share, and demonstrate that the surface of the country in those parts, which have not been subject to overflowing, remains in the same state it was 1500 years ago, and consequently that the turf or moor does not vegetate.'
