Secured by an in- accessible precipice on one side, by ramparts on the other, every thing was added which combined to render it peculiarly terrible, and a strong post of defence against the desultory mode of warfare generg,lly practised by the Britons. Situated on a large and navigable river, they could easily annoy the enemy by water; and on the land-side, both to the... north and south, in possession of a rich fertile country, they were furnished with the means both of escape and defence, and within command of as- sistance from the other important station of ^qua Solis and Caerleon, *^ In a situation thus wisely chosen by this military people, they probably lived in garrison during the winter, and in the summer occupying the country to a considerable extent, secured in its possession by the aforementioned fortified heights or Agrarian camps; and their vessels safely moored in Polbury Pillj where the small river Trym forms a junction with the Avon.
