SILCHESTER

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 89 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SILCHESTER , a parish in the north of
Hampshire
 , England, about to m. S. of
Reading
 , containing the site of the Romano-British town Calleva Atrebatum. This site has been lately explored (1890-1909) and the whole plan of the ancient town within the walls recovered; unfortunately the excavators had to abandon their task before the suburbs, cemeteries and what-ever else may lie outside the walls have been examined. The results are published in Archaeologia, the official organ of the London Society of Antiquaries (see BRITAIN: Roman). As the excavations proceeded, the areas excavated were covered in again, but the ruins of the town
hall
 , which have been famous since the 12th century, still remain. The smaller and movable objects found in the excavations have been deposited by the duke of
Wellington
 , owner of the site of Calleva, in the
Reading
  museum.
