R Trotter Esqr Morton Hall Thomas Torrence |
006 | The supposed remains of a Roman Antiquity which consists of a considerable mound of earth of rather an oblong shape the elevation of which is about 26 feet. Length & breadth 100 feet and 60 it is situated convenient to the mansion house, and from curiosity Mr Trotter the proprietor had the interior of this artificial mound excavated and fitted up as an ice house in the meantime being in hope of finding something to substantiate it's doubted name, but alas nothing was found, but from a recent visit of a party of the Antiquarian Society gives their decision in favour of it's being a Roman Antiquity known by the above name, there is another thing to certify that the Romans had some connection with this neighbourhood and which Mr Trotter has under his care, is a large stone and copper axe which undoubted is of Roman manufacture |
