A discovery was made last Monday tennigl:t (lath in-
stant) of a Iton.an brio k and tile kiln. up,on the estite
Benjamin Haigh Allen, 17. sq . situate at Slack, in Loot!.
wood, in the parish of Huddersfield, twetity inches (root
the surface; it less roused the attention of thousands in
that neigh'iourhood, who have journeyed to view Hie re-
of tCe Roman antiquity; the repays at the
.fir 4 .
were various; that a church had been found under ground,
a castle, a town. a Roman city an l bath had been dis-
covered; however. what is discovere I will be highly irite-
resting to the antiquary. The tiler; are perfect, together
with tinny of the tubes or pipes for conducting (as it is
supposed) the heat from the lire to the kiln, tellere the
brick., tiles, &c. were burnt. The tiles are tuelve inches
long by five, and seine by six inches broad and one thick,
and chequered, and the tubes are about twelve inches long.
and are at the cad 6j by five inches, and are cheqeered ore
twa sides. The most material thing found is a piece of
brick or tile impressed C H 1111 BRE the C and part o
the 0 being effaced—thus proving that the 4th Cohort of
the Roman Legion was stationed at Slack. C•mden states,
that at (irimescar, near Hitddersfield, bricks have been dug
up with this inscription Cokl fill BITE; for the Romans,
who were excellent masters in the arts of discipline anti war.
wisely took care to preserve their soldiers from effeminacy
and sloth, by exercising these in times of peace. either in
draining the country, by casting ditches, mending tho
highway►, making bricks, building bridges, or the like. •
There are other articles found that at present we have nor
been able to ascertain what they are, and the discoveries
are still going on. Mr. Taylor, of Leeds, the architect.
has wade a drawing of the kiln before it *as oiderril by
Mr. Allen to be pulled up, to he again put sip at tore..►
Head, his residence. This removal is touch to be Lewes/teal.
