profound respect for that learned body; and also, as it gives me an occasion of testifying those sentiments to your Lordship, for the great politeness you were pleased to shew me when last in London.
I am,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's,
Most obedient,
and most humble Servant,
THIS Roman Camp, as it is called in the country about it, is situated on a high plain adjoining to a hamlet, called in the maps Barrum or Barnum, near the eastern limit of the duchy of Cleves, belonging to the king of Prussia. It is about 2 English miles W. by S. of the city of Dorsten on the river Lippe, which falls into the Rhine at Wefsl; and about a mile south of the said river, and 18 of a mile from the high road leading from Dorsten to Duisbourg.
The ground called the Camp is about half a mile in breadth and a mile in length, being the North-eastern corner of a very extensive heath, which continues without interruption towards the South-west, near twelve miles as far as Sterkerad and Dinslagen, and with several interruptions Westward almost to Wesel. The whole is fand intermixed with pebbles and covered with heath; there are also many bogs and marshes on it.
