1852. Jabez Allies appears to be the first antiquarian to collect
information and describe Roman finds from Kempsey and all
subsequent information has been based on his work. He describes the
extent of the earthwork, as he is distressed at the destruction of
parts of it by gravel digging in his day. Great alterations being
occasionally made at the site of the Kempsey camp, I will endeavour
to give an account of it, as it appeared in 1840, fearing that in a
few more years every vestige of it will have passed away. The Roman
finds at Kempsey consisting of pottery, brooches, bones and a coin
of Nero are described by Jabez Allies as coming from burial cists
dug out of gravel beds at Kempsey in 1835 and 1836. Illustrated.
