ROMANO-BRITISH LONDON Cooper's Row, Tower Hill (Plan C, 7). — A large portion of the Roman wall laid bare in 1864, 106 ft. in length [Proc. Soc. Antiq. (Sen 2), ii, 419 ; iii, 15 ; Lond. and M'ldd. Arch. Soc. Trans. iii, 52 ; Arch. xl. 295 ff. ; and see p. 51]. CoPTHALL Avenue (formerly Little Bell Alley) (Plan C, loi). — Roman stone [clay?] bell found in 1889 at the north end (see below), and two iron nails in 1890 [Antiq. xx. 76 ; Journ. Brit. Arch. Assoc, xlvii, 88]. Further discoveries of piles, Roman pottery, and other objects were made in December 1906 [Arch. Ix, 232]. Fragments of pottery, in British Museum (one of German fabric) ; in the Guildhall, a lamp, bone dice, and two bells (see above). In Mr. Hilton Price's possession is a vessel of red glazed ware of 'ink-pot' form, the purport of which is unknown (from its porosity it is unsuited for ink, and though the large and small holes in the top of these vessels suggest their use as lamps, none that the writer has seen have shown traces of burning). CoPTHALL Court. — Fragment of Gaulish pottery in British Museum (Roach Smith). Corbet Court, Gracechurch Street (Plan C, 40). — Gaulish pottery [Arch. Rev. i, 276]. A wall here, mentioned by Kelsey, Descr. of Snvcrs, 100. See Gracechurch Street. Cornhill. — In July 1891 some masonry was found under St. Michael's Church (Plan C, 42), 12 ft. thick, and said to be of good character, but it is not clear to what sort of building it belonged. Pottery, glass, tiles, and bones were also found [Antiq. xxiv, 212 ; cf. Pa// Ma// Gazette, 20 Aug. 1891 ; fuller details in Proc. Soc. Antiq. (Ser. 2), xiv, 6 ; see also ibid, xxi, 229; Arch. Ix, 223, and p. 74, above]. In the Guildhall Museum are pieces of Gaulish and other pottery, including a jar of form 67 [Dechelette, Fases Ornh de /a Gaii/e Rom. i, pi. 4 ; Cat. 273, 404, 459, 478] ; in the British Museum, a fragment of Graufesenque ware with stamp of Passenus, and the magnificent vase from Roach Smith's collection with figures in app/iqiJ, of which an illustration is here given (Fig. 33, No. 72). It was found, together with remains of a wall, between Bank Buildings and the Royal Exchange in 1 841 (Plan C, 89). It is supposed to have been made at Lezoux in the third century (though the excellence of the work suggests an earlier date) ; it is, unfortunately, very far from complete Il/us. Rom. Lond. 97 ; Cat. Lond. Antiq. pi. 6 ; Dechelette, op. cit. ii, 187 ; Arch, xxix, 273]. Bronze keys in the possession of Mr. W. M. Newton, also fragments of mortaria with stamps : albinvs (2), sollvs, and f.lvgvdv (' made at Lugudunum '). Mr. T. Morgan, discussing Apollo worship in London, attempted to prove that St. Michael's Church must stand on the site of a temple of that deity ; it need hardly be said that this is purely conjectural [Journ. Brit. Arch. Assoc, xxviii, 340]. Creed Lane (Plan C, 205). — Finds of pottery in 1843 ; Gaulish ware, some figured, and fragments of mortariay one roughly stamped MAHI NVS Marinus [Gent. Mag. (1843), i, 190 ; Ro Brit. Rem. i, 198] ; in the British Museum, a fragment of Romano-British painted ware ; in the Bethnal Green Museum, a fragment with micci of. Cripplegate (Plan C, 36, 87, 39). — In St. Giles' churchyard, about 1847, were found a coin of Carausius, an unpublished variety of the Pax type, and a half-denarius of Constantine the Great (Rev. Sapientia Principis). [Num. Chron. xi, Proc. 8.] In the Guildhall Museum, a bronze key [Cat. 105]. Part of the Roman wall with bastion, encased with later work, has long been (and still is) exposed to view here; of the bastion 7ft. were revealed in 1900 in good preservation, extending to a depth of 18 ft. [U/us. Rom. Lond. 17 ; Antiq. xxxvi, 335 ; Lond. and Midd. Arch. Soc. Trans. (New Ser.), i, pt. 4 (1902), 356 ; Arch. Rev. i, 275 ; Hartridge, Co//. Neivsp.

Crooked Lane. — Gaulish pottery from this site, 'some being evidently burned at a remote period,* exhibited to the Archaeological Association in 1879 [fourn. Brit. Arch. Assoc, xxxv. 215]. See also St. Michael Crooked Lane. Crosby Square, Bishopsgate (Plan C, 53). — Part of a tessellated pavement found in March 1836, about 13 ft. below the su/face, at south-west angle of the Square, with guilloche pattern of red, white, and grey tesserae (another account says scrolls in red, yellow, white, and black). From the style of workmanship it appears to be of early date (Antonine period ?). Below it was a layer of coarse mortar, on a bed of hard ground 2 ft. thick. The site is said to be intersected by ancient foundations 12 ft. or 14 ft. down, running north and south [Gent. Mag. (1836), i, 369 ; Rom.-Brit. Rem. i, 193 ; Arch, xxvii, 397 ; I//us. Rom.
