Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Anno 1718, at Leighton, a village in Essex, thought by Camden to be Durolitum of Antoninus, a gentleman having occasion to enlarge his gardens, in digging up about 2 acres of land, found under the whole very large and strong foundations ... Scattered through the whole were found severall pieces of Roman coin, both silver and brasse [Consular and Imperiall to the time of Julian] many of them intirely defaced, but the fair ones are now in that gentleman’s possession.

He says allso there were some bitts of silver with Saxon characters, but not knowing what to make of them he disregarded and lost them.'

(Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 2 pp. 145-6; Burnett 2020b, p. 1301)
