A HISTORY OF NORFOLK GiLLINGHAM . Harling (East) Haynford . . Hedenham . . Heigham . . Geldeston . . . Interment, near the Waveney. Rude wooden cist, and in it glass diota (containing infant's burnt remains, 'Second Brass' of Sabina and part of a bulla), earthenware cup and potsherds _Archieological Journal, vi. 1 09, with plate; Norwich Museum; Dawson Tur- ner, MS. 23,055, p. 126]. See figs. 29, 30. Urn found in rebuilding chancel of church _Archaological 'Journal, xxiv. 72, with illustration], now in British Museum. Mr. C. H. Read tells me it is not Roman. . Denarius of Alex. Severus (Cohen, 364-366) _Norfolk Archceology, iii. 420, iv. 314]. . The urns found in the church 1872, and mentioned in the Journal of the British Archaeological Association, xxix. 306, xxxv. 95, as Roman, are medieval. . Bronze statuette (3 inches high) of Faun or Cupid [Norfolk Arche- ology, i. 366 ; Norwich vol. of Institute, xxvii. ; Journal of the British Archaological Association, ii. 346 ; Archaological Journal, xi. 28 — all unimportant notices]. See fig. 31. . Kiln and wasters found 1858 : burial urns at a little distance _Nor- folk Archieology, vi. 149, 156; Archaological Journal, xviii. 374]. See fig. 32. . At Stonehills, 1867, plain leaden coffin, female skeleton, two bronze rings, which however may more probably be post-Roman. Near it another skeleton and fragments pf a cemented cist ; near also, coin of Faustina senior; and also a small urn found 1853, now in Norwich Museum [^Norfolk Archaology, vi. 213, 386 ; Archao- logical Journal, xix. 88]. Heigham is an eastern suburb of Norwich Hempnall . . . Burials east of the church, at 'The Walls,' found 1854. Very doubtful if Roman _Norfolk Archaology, v. 49]. Hethersett . . Bronze statuette of Hercules. Old road on farm called Plainards, supposed to be Roman, but very doubtful [Archaologia, xxiii. 369 ; Fox, Archaological Journal, xlvi. 361]. HoLKHAM . . . Remains at the Rabbit Farm, asserted [Archaologia, xxiii. 361]. Probably not Roman. HoRNiNGTOFT . . Earthworks cleared 1852, one acre in extent, buildings inside. Also old road 1 5 feet wide traced for a quarter of a mile. There is no reason to think either Roman [Norfolk Archaology, iv. 359 ; G. A. Carthew, Hundred of Launditch, iii. 251]. Horsey .... 'Second Brass' of Vespasian; urn, probably not Roman [^Norfolk Archaology, iv. 355]. Howe .... Gold coin of Nero ; brick and flanged tile in church wall, as if a villa near, unless brought four miles from Caister [^Archaological Journal, x. 62]. See p. 297. Hunstanton . . Three urns found 1879 ^* "^^ esplanade [Cambridge Antiquarian Communications, iv. 423]. IcKBURGH . . . Talbot and Gale put ' Iciani ' here, others * Sitomagus,' but no Roman remains have ever been found. Blomefield's story of a ' large milliare' [ii. 233] is absurd. On the etymology, see p. 287. Ingoldsthorpe . Republican coin of 1 50-100 B.C., denarius of Nero and a British coin [Blomefield, x. 339 ; Gough's Add. to Camden, ii. 198]. KiMBERLEY . . . Largish fibula, now in Norwich Museum [Fox]. King's Lynn . . It was an old wild fancy that Catus Decianus founded Lynn [Wm. Richards, Hist, of Lynn, i. 312]. No Roman remains occur here. Even the recent extensive excavations for drainage have (as Mr. E. M. Beloe tells me) produced nothing. A ' First Brass ' of Hadrian is said to have been found near Lynn, in cutting the new channel of the Ouse [Wisbech Museum]. KiRBY Cane . . Kiln, pottery, animals' bones on ' Pewter Hill ' [Norfolk Archaology, 'V- 313]- Lakenheath . . Large fibula, figured Archaological Journal, vi. 405. 318
