Editorial note — APPENDIX.

“Cambridge is the Caer Graunt of Nennius.... The position of this fortified town was well chosen, for it is situated on one of the most commanding spots to be found in the district. Its site is the projecting extremity of a low range of hills, backed by a slight depression or broad and shallow valley. On at least two of its sides the ground fell away rather rapidly from the foot of the ramparts, and the river defended the fourth.
“It is highly probable that the Saxon town of Grantabrigge stood upon the same site as the Roman Camboritum.”
Babington’s Ancient Cambridgeshire, 1853.
