“ The city of Wesel is distinctly seen at twenty miles distance, and Xanten at twenty-six miles distance. By conjecture, it may be 200 feet above the level of the river Lippe.
What is called the Camp is an oblong square, bounded on the South and East sides, and on part of the North, by cultivated grounds: on the rest of the North side is a slight appearance of a Vallum, and it is the only one discernible. To the Westward, no separation can be discerned from the rest of the level heath. ”

“ The Tumulus [h] is a considerable way on the plain westward of the rest. This and the Tumulus [e] are the only ones that can be seen from the high road; the rest being covered from view by hedges surrounding the fields which lie between them and the road.
[i] is an excavation in the plain apparently not ancient.
[k] is an annular ridge or bourlet of earth about two feet above the plain, but within lower than the plain: the whole covered with heath and pebbles like the rest of the plain.
[l] is a small square ridge of earth, about a foot higher than the plain, and hollow within. ”

“ The Tumulus [d] has been cut through the middle to a considerable depth, but is now in part filled up.
The Tumulus [e] has been excavated from the summit, and also in part filled up.
The Tumuli [f] and [g] are of a different form from all the rest, being nearly as represented in the sketch. ”
