That part of Mont Orgueil Castle, in Jersey, called Le Fort de Cesar, the immense earthen rampart near Rosel, of which a remnant still exists, and the traces of a camp at Dielament, together with the many Roman coins found in different parts of the island, prove that it was a place of some consequence under the Romans: it may, however, be presumed that Jers...
