John J. Daniell’s book The History Of Warminster was first published in 1879. Chapter II, titled The Romans, includes the following:
The Buries (so named from standing on a large Barrow) is a house and grounds belonging to the Astley family, partly in Warminster parish and partly in Bishopstrow. It was decidedly a Roman station; part of the agger is still visible, and at various times much Roman pottery has been dug up, wherever the spade broke the soil, deeply embedded in black mould. In 1792, Richard Archer and John Arnold, while employed in levelling a high ridge and digging a ditch at the Buries discovered several pieces of iron armour, much Roman ware, and two large urns, one of which contained several thousand Roman coins, a peck in measure, chiefly of the middle and small brass, of all ages of the Roman Empire from Tiberius, viz., Claudius, Vitellius, Domitian, Antoninus Pius, Commodus, Alexander Severus, Lucius Tacitus, Carausius, Alectus, Carinus, Maxentius, Maximinus, Constantine, Constans, Magnentius, Victorinus; and two female heads, Salonina, wife of Gallienus, and a Julia. A lump of these coins, firmly rusted together, in good preservation, was in the possession of Mr. Halliday, of Warminster, but cannot now be found.
