Excerpt from A Bibliographical List: Descriptive of Romano-British Architectural Remains in Great Britain The description of discoveries of Roman Architectural Remains in Britain are scattered so widely that on the suggestion of the late Mr George E. Fox I commenced this Bibliographical List, in the hope that the student of the future might thus easily obtain all available information regarding any excavated site. The List may also serve two other purposes: either to prevent needless excavations on sites that have been exhaustively explored or on the other hand to stimulate the thorough exploration and planning of sites hitherto only imperfectly investigated. It has been found necessary to omit obscure evidence of buildings, as for instance where roof tiles have been found without a trace of any foundations. Burial sites although indicating the probable proximity of dwellings, remains of which indeed may actually exist to-day and await discovery, are also excluded. On the other hand some Forts which have not been explored, but which there is every reason to believe will furnish evidence of architectural remains have been included, as well as a few minor and possibly doubtful sites. Nearly all the publications referred to may be found in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries of London.
