NOTES ON THE

ANCIENT RECORDED TOPOGRAPHY OF DEVON.

BY R. N. WORTH, F. G. S.

(Read at Seaton, July, 1885.)

SOME years since I commenced an enquiry-soon, however, laid aside-into the probable position of the ancient town, called by Ptolemy and his followers, Tamare. The further my investigations went, the less chance did there appear of coming to any definite conclusion, and they were therefore dropped. The subject came before me again while I was preparing my address as President of the Plymouth Institution in 1881, but was once more passed by. Considering, however, upon that occasion the question of Roman intercourse and association with this part of England, I came to the conclusion that west of Exeter there was "no proof of Roman occupation;" and particularly that there was "no proof of the Roman origin" of "the so-called Roman roads, which have been not only traced to Exeter-to which city the Romans undoubtedly had direct and improved means of communication-but have been assumed to extend thence in two branches (one traversing the northern and central parts of the peninsula, and the other following the south coast), with sundry ramifications, to the Land's End."*

My interest in the topic was reawakened last year by the papers of Mr. J. B. Davidson, on "Old Teign Bridge," and Mr. R. W. Cotton, on "Some Ancient Roads in South Devon." Hence the enquiry was reopened, with the result not only of leading at length to definite conclusions, but of taking me much further afield than was originally intended.

That Tamare was on the Tamar well nigh everyone agreed; but the places identified therewith have ranged from North * Trans. Plym. Inst. viii. 49.
