Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'There hath been a Roman castrum by Castor neere Yarmouth, butt plowed up, and now nothing or litle discernable thereof; butt I have had many Roman coynes found thereabout: There is also a Roman castrum 3 miles from Norwich, at Castor, anciently Venta Icenorum, containing about 30 akers of ground, where there are still playne marks of the 4 portae, and I have had many coynes from thence, and some other antiquities' (Wilkin 1836, vol. 1, pp. 469-71; Burnett 2020b, p. 751 n. 40)
