Historical Description

Icklingham, a village which has two parishes and two parish- churches, where was the ancient Roman station Combritonium, or, according to Horsley, Camboricum, which seems to have been half a mile in length, and to have extended at a small distance from the river. On the west side of the ruins is a square camp, which appears to have contained about twenty-five acres. The vallum is visible on all sides, except where the moorish ground has brought it to decay. Coins have been found here, particularly in a ploughed field half a mile north-west of the town; some have been found also in the moors, in digging, to fence or drain them; and about forty-four years ago, an ancient leaden cistern was discovered by a ploughman, who struck his share against the edge of it. To the west of the camp, upon Warren-hill, are three large barrows, each encompassed by a foss.
