Annotations

There is some confusion in the name as George Babington, writing in 1883, calls the town Camboritum, and it is shown by that name on the Ordnance Survey Maps.  The better usage is Duroliponte.  Camboritum is at Lackford.  There is inconclusive evidence of  Claudian era ditches at the rear of the Cambridgeshire Archives building.

A Roman farm or villa sits over ditches from Iron Age settlements, and these were all drawn to the site by the presence of Nine Wells, and set of ancient Chalk Springs.
