T. DA VIES PRYCE, Audited and found correct. Honorary Treasurer. GEORGE C. DRUCE. I7th October, 1929. Report of the Council for the Year 1928-29.

The Council is happy to be able to report a year of continued success. Five new Societies have been affiliated, namely, the St. Albans and Herts. Archaeological Society, the British Record Society, the Archaeological Section of the South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies, the North Staffordshire Field Club, and the Devonshire Exploration Society. The finances are in a satisfactory condition, and the Council desires once again to thank its colleague, Mr. Druce, for auditing the accounts. In consequence of the judgement of the Court of Appeal in the two test cases on the subject of Income Tax, the Inland Revenue authorities are now reviewing, on their merits, the claims of Societies to a refund. Societies are, therefore, recommended to make their claims again, if they have not already done so, and are reminded that the British Association has kindly undertaken to advise as to the best form in which claims should be presented. The Council passed a resolution of thanks to the British Association for the action that it had taken in this matter. At the last Congress the Council was asked to consider the rising cost of producing the Annual Report and as a result it was able to make a substantial reduction in the cost of the last number. It should, however, be explained that the high cost of the 1927 Report was in great measure due to the aciditional matter included, and especially to the necessity of having illustrations. Nine replies only have been received to the circular letter sent to the affiliated Societies early this year on the subject of the destruc­ tion of documents. All of these replies showed that some arrange­ ments were available for the care of documents in the districts covered. The British Record Society has taken the matter up and the Council has welcomed its co-operation. Mr. Barnard will report fully at the meeting of the Congress. In accordance with rule the following members of the Council will retire this year: Messrs. J. P. Bushe-Fox, F.S.A., R. G. Colling- wood, F.S.A., O. G. S. Crawford, F.S.A, and H. St. George Gray, F.S.A., and there are two other vacancies not filled this year due to the death of Mr. Chalmers and the appointment of Dr. Pryce as Treasurer. In their place the Council recommends the election of Prof. D. Atkinson, F.S.A., Mr. W. Parker Brewis, F.S.A., Very Rev. Dom Ethelbert Home, F.S.A., Messrs. H. Harold Hughes, F.S.A., Col. John Parker, C.B., V.P.S.A., and C. O. Skilbeck, F.S.A. Report of the Proceedings at the 3yth Congress. The Thirty-seventh Annual Congress was held at the Society of Antiquaries, on Tuesday, 19 November, 1929, the President, Mr. C. R. Peers, C.B.E., F.B.A., President of the Society of Antiquaries, in the chair. The following Societies sent delegates : Society. Delegates. Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland Sir William Fry.

Macalister, F.S.A., Mr. C. A. R. Radford, F.S.A., Dr. R. E. M. Wheeler, F.S.A., and the officers. The Report of the Council (p. 4) having been circulated was taken as read. The adoption of the Report was moved by MAJOR FREER, seconded by Col. Parker and, after the question of the assessment of learned societies to Income Tax had been raised by Mr. Austin, Mr. St. George Gray and Mr. Burkitt, was carried. THE TREASURER, in presenting his accounts, drew attention to the considerable amount of money owing for arrears of subscriptions and for Reports. On the motion of DR. Fox, seconded by MR. GARRAWAY RICE, the accounts were adopted, and a vote of thanks to the Treasurer and Auditor was passed on the motion of MAJOR FREER. MR. RADFORD presented the Report of the Earthworks Com­ mittee (p. 8). On the motion of MR. T. E. MORRIS, seconded by MR. BRADFER- LAWRENCE, the Report was adopted. On the motion of the PRESIDENT the Officers of Council were re-elected, Prof. Atkinson, Mr. Parker Brewis, Dom Ethelbert Home, Mr. Harold Hughes, Col. Parker and Mr. C. O. Skilbeck being elected in place of those retiring by rule. MR. E. A. B. BARNARD reported on further developments with regard to the destruction, dispersal, and transfer of ancient docu­ ments. He recalled that last February he wrote a letter on the subject to The Times, and drew attention to the extremely interesting result of the publication of that letter. He had previously given a broadcast address, which ultimately resulted in the receipt of about 200 letters from all parts of Great Britain and all were from a type of person one would not expect to be interested in the preservation of ancient documents. The letter published in The Times produced an entirely different kind of correspondence. He received letters from all parts of the country, notably from Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, and Dublin, all from highly educated} people. Those two kinds of correspondence had amply proved the great interest every one was taking in this very vital and important subject. Another result of his letter tolThe Times was a communication from the British Record Society which had resulted in discussions of the subject from all its aspects. Interest in the question was not confined to this coun­ try. Correspondence had revealed that interest had been aroused in the Colonies, and in India, Ceylon, and America the Press had taken up the matter, and was animadverting against the destruction of old documents. He suggested that there should be an experimental grouping of the counties in order to deal with the matter. The following took part in the discussion: Miss WAKE, MR. COZENS-HARDY, MR. GARRAWAY RlCE, MR. BuRKITT, MR. BREVVIS, Miss GARBETT, MR. AUSTIN, MR. BRADFER-LAWRENCE, MR. ANDREWS, MR. ST. GEORGE GRAY, MR. YATES, Miss STOKES, MR. CUNNINGTON, PROF. MACALISTER, MR. HOLLIS, and the PRESIDENT. The following resolutions were passed: That this Congress approves, for the course of the coming year, the very satisfactory co-operation that exists between the British Record Society and the Council of this Congress; and that the subject of the experimental grouping of counties be held over until the next Congress for further consideration by, and report from, the affiliated societies. That in the meantime this Congress regards with approval the proposal of the British Record Society to hold a conference of repre­ sentatives of Record Societies and other societies interested in records, for the purpose of formulating a systematic scheme to deal with the practical questions that are daily arising in connection with the distribution of rescued documents. THE PRESIDENT then addressed the Congress on the subject of the co-ordination of Field Work. He remarked that the present was probably the most successful and flourishing period of archaeological research that had ever been known. It was obvious that there was now an enormous number of skilled and able workers engaged in the examination and study of the antiquities of this country and that more work had been done during the last ten years than ever before. But this very fact made it imperative that excavations should not be carried out haphazard, and he felt that if it were possible for such work to be conducted on a pre-arranged scheme, by which the gaps in our knowledge could be filled, it would be a great help and would lead eventually to a solution of many outstanding problems. He had already made some suggestions in the October number of the Antiquaries Journal (ix., p. 349), so he need not particularise at any length. But it was obvious that for certain periods scientific informa­ tion was badly needed. This was especially the case with regard to early Saxon inhabited sites. Of these, apart from Mr. Leeds' excava­ tions, practically nothing was known. Again, our knowledge of medieval pottery was almost nil, and the excavation of closely datable medieval sites would be of the utmost value. Two important sites now being excavated might be expected to throw much light on two obscure periods in the history of this country. He referred to the chambered mound at Bryn-Celli-Dhu now being examined by Mr. Hemp, and the site at Lydney which Dr. Wheeler was excavating.

i The first should throw light on the megalithic culture of these islands, while the latter would increase our knowledge of the obscure period at the very end of the Roman occupation. He therefore felt that the time had come when the local bodies which carried out excavations and field research in this country might very well attempt as far as possible to co-ordinate their efforts and endeavour within certain limitations to concentrate on trying to unravel some of the more pressing problems which confronted the archaeologist. He suggested that this might be done either by ex­ tending the terms of reference of the Earthworks Committee or by creating a new Research Committee, which should endeavour to keep all the affiliated societies in touch with the work that was going on and should be in a position to offer them advice and assistance. The following took part in the discussion which followed: MR. BusnE-Fox, DR. WHEELER, DR. DAVIES PRYCE, MR. BURKITT, DR. Fox, MR. ALLAN, MR. ST. GEORGE GRAY, PROF. ATKINSON, MR. MORRIS, and MR. KEILLER. On the motion of DR. Fox, seconded by MR. MORRIS, it was resolved that the question of the formation of a Research Committee be referred to the Council. The meeting then adjourned until the afternoon. On the resumption of the meeting at 3 o'clock, Mr. V. E. Nash- Williams, M.A., Keeper of Archaeology, the National Museum of Wales, gave an illustrated lecture on recent excavations within the Roman legionary fortress of Caerleon. Votes of thanks were passed to Mr. Nash-Williams for his lecture and to the President for presiding.

Report of the^ Earth works Committee. It is with deep regret that your Committee have to record the death during the past year of Sir Hercules Read, V.P.S.A.. Appointed a member in 1905, his support during its early days was of great value, and later, as Chairman, he helped to steer it through a difficult period. He was greatly interested in the study of earthworks and their place in archaeology, and when his illness in recent years pre­ vented his attendance at meetings, his absence proved a real loss. The death of Dr. William Martin has also to be recorded since the presentation of the last report. In view of the wide interest in air photography and of its value as an aid to Field Archaeology, the proposal that the photographs already taken by the Royal Air Force should be made accessible, will be welcomed. Prints of all these are kept at the Ordnance Survey Office at Southamption, where they may be consulted by appoint­ ment. The number of these prints is very large and, the issue of a catalogue not being contemplated, a personal visit will be necessary. The prints may be bought (price 1/6), but for reproduction the per- mission of the Director-General of the Ordnance Survey and the Comptroller-General of H.M. Stationery Office is required. In this connection your Committee desires to draw attention to Mr. O. G. S. Crawford's paper on the subject (Air Photography for Archaeologists O. S. Professional Papers), the notes in which explain the con­ ditions of light, soil, etc., which are necessary to the success of these, photographs. The Corporation of Cheltenham have agreed to erect a notice board with a plan and short description ot Leckhampton Camp. The site was recently purchased for preservation as an open space. It is hoped that this will arouse public interest in the camp and the example of Cheltenham might well be followed by other local authori­ ties. Last year the marking of certain earthworks on Salisbury Plain, in order to prevent damage to them, was noted. Your Committee suggests that local archaeological societies should consider the possi­ bility of adopting this course in any case where damage to earthworks is likely to occur through ignorance. The Ancient Monuments Department of H.M. Office of Works is willing to advise Societies or Owners on the subject, but they cannot at present undertake the financial responsibility for the marking of those monuments which are on private property. The discovery of hitherto unrecorded earthworks continues and it would appear that many small not easily recognisable sites have yet to be found. In this connection attention may be drawn to the value of charters, deeds and old estate maps. Ram's Hill Camp (Berkshire, 1928 Report) and Norbury (Buckinghamshire) are instances where the first clue was found in one of these sources, and further research might provide many indications which local field workers would he able to verify. Quarrying continues to be the principal cause of destruction, but the damage reported this year is not serious. The ploughing over of a fine pond barrow at Marshland (Norfolk) is greatly to be regretted. The preservation work, which had to be undertaken at Bryn- Celli-Dhu (Anglesea) and Belas Knap (Gloucestershire), has led to the excavation of these barrows, in the course of which interesting constructional features have come to light. The work on the site at Windmill Hill (Wiltshire) has been continued for the fifth year in succession. The thorough examination of this site has led to the discovery of other camps of the same type. The partial excavation of those at Ahingdon (Berkshire) and (Sussex) has already been noted in these reports, and this year four new examples are recorded Camp and Combe Hill Camp (Sussex), Robin Hood's Ball (Wiltshire), and the Dinas (Montgomeryshire). The first suggestion has been confirmed by the pottery finds, but the attribution of the other three to the neolithic period rests only on a similarity in plan. The excavation of Ham Hill (Somerset) has been resumed and a stratum, probably dating from the third century B.C., has been found in the lowest level of a large cutting at Ham Turn. The examination of Kingsdown Camp (Somerset), an interesting site the occupation of which extended into the Roman period, has been completed. At Lydney (Gloucestershire) further discoveries of pottery have con­ firmed the dating of the earthworks to La Tene II-III, as previously suggested. Saxonbury Camp (Sussex) is shown to have been occu­ pied by iron workers in La Tene III, but it is not certain that the erection of the ramparts was due to the same people. The investigation of the entrance to the Claudian Camp at Richborough (Kent) has been completed. Traces of the revetment at the ends of the mound were discovered, but there was no sign of any guard-houses. Part of the ditches of the Saxon Shore Fort has also been cleared. At Forden (Montgomeryshire) and Margidunum (Nottinghamshire) work on the Roman earthworks has been continued. The survey of Offa's Dyke has been carried as far as Rushock Hill (Herefordshire). The tracing of the Dyke through the difficult hill country in Eastern Radnorshire provided a good opportunity for the study of the technique of the designer. In Ireland the examination of Uisneach has been followed up by the excavation of the neighbouring site of Ferraghafin on the slope of the hill. It has been resolved that the President of the Congress of Archaeological Societies shall be ex-officio Chairman of the Earth­ works Committee. While recording this decision your Committee wishes to express its gratitude to the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres for his services in this capacity. Mr. W. G. Collingwood has resigned his membership on account of ill-health. Mr. R. G. Collingwood, Dr. E. C. Curwen and Mr. C. H. C. Hawkes have been appointed members of the Committee. Your Committee ask that the thanks of the Congress be offered to Mr. Keiller for the preparation of the Index to the present report and to the numerous local correspondents, without whose assistance its compilation would not be possible. Detailed notes follow under the usual headings. In order to facilitate reference to a particular site, when possible a note has been included wherever last year's notice referred to work unfinished, even though nothing has been done during the present season. For publication, search should be made in the bibliography under the name of the excavator mentioned in last year's note. If no name was given, or if the publication is by another person, attention is drawn to this under the title of the site. Where no record occurs it is pre­ sumed that the report is not yet published.

10 and Wales. PRESERVATION AND RECORD. The notes on finds refer only to their publication, irrespective of the actual year of discovery, or of previous publication. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. Padbury. Mr. J. N. L. Myres sends the following note. A new camp has been found at Padbury. It lies at the south end of the village on low ground close to the old ford the present bridge and directly north of Padbury Mill. It is marked "Norbury" on the Elizabethan Estate Map of All Souls' College, the examination of which led to its discovery. It is irregular in shape, and probably never had more than a single mound and ditch. Both are now much ploughed out but are easily traceable. CAMBRIDGESHIRE. A systematic examination of a series of aerial photo­ graphs covering several parishes in the south of the county has revealed traces of several unknown earthworks. These indications seen on the photographs, must be considered as suggestions which need verification on the spot, and the following list of the more clearly marked is published in the hope that it may be of use to field workers living in the neighbourhood. The data given are (a) parish or farm, (b) 6" O.S. (c) No. of photographs, (d) earthwork indicated. Kneesworth House, 58 N.W. 1326 and 2224. Camp contain­ ing Barrow.

A polished felsite axe from Welsh St. Donats (ibid., 273). GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Leckhampton Hill, Cheltenham. Mr. E. J. Burrow reports that the Corporation of Cheltenham, who recently purchased the site as an open space, have agreed to erect a notice hoard with a plan and short description of the earthwork, which was excavated in 1926. The following prehistoric find is recorded. Five flint arrow heads from one of the barrows at Nether Swell (Ant. Journ., ix, 35). HAMPSHIRE. Beaulieu. Mr. Heywood Sumner sends the following note. A small unrecorded enclosure earthwork stands on Beaulieu Heath, New Forest, on the eastern verge of "the Noads." The area contains 2 roods 33 poles, is ovoid in shape, and is surrounded by a well-preserved bank and outer ditch, measuring over all 20 feet. The crest of the bank stands 3 feet above the bottom of the ditch. There is an entrance through a gap on the southern side and another on the west side to drain the surface water that rises within the area. This little earthwork appears to be a medieval pastoral enclosure. East Meon. Dr. Williams Freeman records the discovery of a cross-ridge earthwork, consisting of three banks and four ditches, near Coombe Cross, at the eastern end of Wether Down, about 2 miles south of the village. The following prehistoric find is recorded. A dolerite axe from Swanwick (Ant. Journ., ix, 377). HUNTINGDONSHIRE. Pidley. A hitherto unknown earthwork is recorded in a field known as Pidley Parks, just south of the road from Somersham to Pidley. It consists of a slight bank and ditch enclosing an irregular area, of about 122 acres, at the end of a spur and descending on one side to the lower ground in order to include a water course. The following prehistoric finds are recorded. A St. Acheul hand-axe from Buckden and a bronze socketed adze from Wood Walton (Ant. Journ., ix, 247). LINCOLNSHIRE. A classified list of the earthworks of the county has been drawn up by Canon Hunt, and published in the local press. The list is ananged according to the period and purpose of the sites and emphasizes the wealth of the county in medieval remains. Only six pre-Roman earthworks and twenty- two barrows are recorded. The following prehistoric find is recorded. A notched flint dagger from Flixborough (Ant. Journ., ix, 36). MERIONETHSHIRE. The following prehistoric find is recorded. A holed axe-hammer from Dolgelley (Arch. Camb., Ixxxiv, 150). MONTGOMERYSHIRE. Llanidloes Without. Mr. W. J.

The following prehistoric find is recorded. A stone axe-hammer from Betley (N. Staffs. Field Club, Ixii). A twin "food-vessel" of the Early Bronze Age, probably found near Aqualate Mere, about seventy years ago (Ant. Jonrn., ix, 137). SUSSEX. Isfield. A hitherto unrecorded motte and bailey castle has been surveyed by Mr. D. H. Montgomerie. Combe Hill, Jevington. Dr. E. C. Curwen has published a survey of these remains. The plan, based on "bosing," reveals a neolithic camp of the Windmill Hill type. No finds are recorded (Sussex Arch. Coll., Ixx, 209, and Cuni'en Prehistoric Sussex, p. 66). Ditchling. Mr. H. S. Toms records an earthwork on Middle Brow near Ditchling Beacon, consisting of a circular ditch interrupted at one point by a causeway, forming an entrance which is approached by a hollow way (Sussex Arch. Coll., Ixx, 206). The following prehistoric find is recorded. A hoard of polished stone axes from Clayton Hill (ibid., 204). WESTMORLAND. The following prehistoric find is recorded. An Early Iron Age bridle bit picked up at Place Fell, beside Ullswater (Ant. Journ., ix, 4i). WILTSHIRE. The following prehistoric sites are recorded. A stone circle and stone cairn on Overton Down. One long and several round barrows at Collingbourne Ducis. A crouched burial at Winterslow. A pillow mound at Wardour (Wilts. Arch. Mag., xliv, 244, 245, 260 and 261). The following prehistoric find is recorded. A stone axe from Box (ibid., 264). WORCESTERSHIRE. The following prehistoric find is recorded. A flint arrow head from Stone, near Kidderminster (Wares. Arch. Soc., n.s., iv, 127).

IRELAND. ANTRIM. The following prehistoric find is recorded. Two Bronze Age urns from a sand pit on Ballymachilory Farm, near Ballymena (Royal Soc. Ant. Ireland Proc., Iviii, 162). CARLOW. The following prehistoric find is recorded. An encrusted urn from Mullaghreelan (Ant. Journ., ix, 154). DUBLIN. Lambay Island. Chance finds of Iron Age and earlier date have recently been made on the island. The Iron Age finds consist of bronze fibulae of provincial Roman type and pottery, associated with burials (see also Bibliography under Macalister). LOUTH. The following prehistoric find is recorded. Two Bronze Age urns from Goirtin (County Louth Arch. Journ., 257). MEATH. The following prehistoric find is recorded. An encrusted urn from Keenoge (Ant. Journ., ix, 156). SLIGO. The following prehistoric find is recorded. Three bell beakers and a fragment of a fourth found in a cairn at Magh Tuireadh West before 1885 (L. S. Gogan, "The Bell Beakers of Magh Tuireadh and their significance"). WICKLOW. Lackan. Mr. Liam Price records the discovery of a dolmen surrounded by a stone circle and partly covered by stones. It stands in the north-east corner of the townland of Lackan, 3 miles S.W. of Blessington (Royal Soc. Ant. Ireland Journ., lix, 68). NORTHERN IRELAND. Air photographs taken by the Air Force in Northern Ireland have directed attention to certain ring-forts not previously recorded. The photographs are being checked by an examination of the ground. 13 DESTRUCTION. ENGLAND AND WALES. CARNARVONSHIRE. Penmaenmawr. The quarrying of the hill from both seaward and landward sides continues to destroy the hill fort. DENBIGHSHIRE. Dinorben. The quarrying of the rock upon which the hill fort stands is slowly increasing but has not yet reached the defences. LANCASHIRE. Camp, Nelson. Some damage was caused to the ramparts by the spectators of motor cycle races, but these races have now ceased. NORFOLK. Marshland. "Hickathrifts Wash Bowl," a fine pond barrow near Smeeth Road Station, has been ploughed up and partly filled in. SHROPSHIRE. Uffington. Ebury Camp has been further damaged by quarrying. (Plan in V. C. H. Shropshire, i, 381.) IRELAND. DUBLIN. Crumlin. A mound at this place has been dug away in the course of levelling a sports ground.

EXCAVATION. ENGLAND AND WALES. ANGLESEA. Bryn Celli Dhu Cairn. The excavation of this barrow, by Mr. W. J. Hemp, is now practically completed. A report will be published. BERKSHIRE. Long Wittenham. Mr. E. T. Leeds reports that other urns of a Late Bronze Age type have come to light during the past year. Within a small area were found two skeletons, said to have lain fully extended, together with some of the cremation burials. (See also Bibliography.) CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Bran Ditch. For the excavation recorded in 1927 see Bibliography under Lethbridge. CARMARTHENSHIRE. Llanboidy. A Bronze Age barrow in this parish has been investigated. CARNARVONSHIRE. Caerhun. The excavation of the site has been con­ tinued under the direction of Mr. P. K. Baillie Reynolds. The work during this season has revealed an interesting "annexe" enclosed by a V-shaped ditch. The corresponding rampart is incomplete. Within the annexe an extensive "dug-out" was found. In it were hearths and objects dating from 80 120 A.D., the period of the occupation of the main fort. CUMBERLAND. Milkingstead, Eskdale. For report on the excavation recorded in 1927 see Bibliography under Hodgson Hadrian's Wall. Mr. E. Birley sends the following note. The University of Durham Committee continued its investigation of Birdoswald (Amboglanna), and the discovery of two building inscriptions, recording work done under Severus and by Constantius Chlorus, sheds new light on the history of the wall. The stone turret discovered last year in the turf wall opposite Appletree, was completely uncovered this year; no coins and very little pottery were found, and it was clear that the building can have had but a short occupation. DEVONSHIRE. Drewsteginton. Major F. C. Tyler's investigation of the site of the stone circles near Spinsters Rock has been completed. A report will be published. High Peak Hill, Otterton. The Archaeological Section of the Devonshire Association has cut trial trenches in the remaining portion of this camp (V.C.H., Devon, i, 579). Relics of the Early Iron Age and the Roman period were recovered. DORSET. Milborne St. Andrew. A large habitation site was discovered during the digging of the foundations of a creamery. Thirty-seven pits were examined; they varied from 4 ft. to 9 ft. in depth, some were straight-sided, some wider at the top than the bottom, and some wider at the bottom than the top. They contained animal bones, charcoal, a few rough flint implements and potsherds ranging from Late Bronze Age to 4th century A.D. Corfe Mullen. A pit was disclosed in the face of a gravel pit, containing Early Iron Age potsherds and charcoal. The quarrymen reported that similar pits and pottery had been found and destroyed in the past but no record of these exists. West Parley. An Early Iron Age site was examined and dis­ closed an unusually wide Pit dwelling divided into two "rooms" by a wall of undisturbed gravel, with a communicating passage. The finds were pots­ herds, bones of the small ox, ironstone and slag, sandy ironstone burnt to a bright scarlet, an interesting wooden object cut to the shape of a handle (of the size and shape of the grip and pummel of a sword hilt) and well-preserved twigs and sticks. ESSEX. "The Rodney," Little Badclow. Fragments of Early Iron Age pottery were found in trial pits within the enclosure. The investigation of the "barrow" failed to reveal any definite evidence of either its purpose or age (Essex Arch. Soc. Trans., xix, 199-200). GLAMORGAN. Llanharry. A Bronze Age barrow in this parish has been investigated. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Belas Knap, near Winchcombe. With the consent of H.M. Office of Works and under the auspices of the Bristol and Gloucester­ shire Archaeological Society, excavations have been carried out in the north­ west portion of this . A section exposed along part of the central axis proved that, at this part there was not, and never could have been, any central passage, still less u central chamber. A transverse section across the western half of the barrow showed that the revetment wall of oolite slabs was intimately bonded into the main mass of the barrow. Both must therefore have been built contemporaneously. Outside the revetment wall an extensive series of imbricated slates extended to a maximum distance of ten feet. This again was overlaid by a thick layer of stone rubble, covered by a thinner layer of pure oolitic gravel. No hitherto unknown lateral chamber was discovered, nor any passage leading to one. A few sherds of ancient pottery and isolated human bones and teeth were found, mostly in the infilling of previous diggers. A full report will be published. Lydney. The excavation of the "promontory camp" at Lydney Park was continued by Dr. R. E. M. Wheeler on behalf of the Society of Anti­ quaries. Further discoveries of bead rim pottery of La Tene II-III confirmed the previous dating of the earthworks. During the first three centuries of the Roman period the camp remained under occupation by a native population, which was to some extent employed in iron-mining, and perhaps the most im­ portant find was that of an intact iron mine which had been sealed up by a hut about 300 A.D. In the latter half of the 4th century the Roman Temple, guest­ house, baths, etc., were built in the south-western half of the camp. In early post-Roman times the prehistoric earthwork was reconstructed and streng­ thened and a population continued to live in a low state of civilisation in certain of the Roman buildings. To this late period (probably the 5th century A.D.) may be ascribed a hoard of 1,400 minute bronze coins (most of them from 2 to 3 mm. in diameter) found in a broken pavement of the bath-building. HEREFORDSHIRE. OfTa's Dyke. See under Radnorshire. KENT. Castle Hill Camp, Tonbridge. Excavations have been made by Mr. S. Winbolt in this large hill-top camp. The camp covers 17 acres and large stretches of the defences have been levelled. Many flints, some of neolithic type, were found. The presence of iron slag suggests a later occupa­ tion but no datable traces of this were discovered. Richborough. The excavation of this site has been continued under the direction of Mr. Bushe Fox. The entrance to the Claudian Camp has been investigated. The remains of wooden structures forming the revet­ ment of the mound on either side of the entrance have been traced, but no guard-chambers were found in the area uncovered. The evidence suggests that this camp was only in use for a very short period. Large stretches of the ditches of the Saxon Shore Fort have been cleared and the work is still in pro­ gress. The inner ditch was found to be continuous in front of the west gate and must have been spanned by a wooden bridge, but the outer ditch was inter­ rupted by a narrow causeway which carried the road. Pottery of Flallstatt type was found in the lowest level of the excavations on the site of the Claudian entrance. MERIONETHSHIRE. Moel Offrwm. The excavation of this site has been suspended during the present season. MONMOUTHSHIRE. Caerleon. Mr. V. E. Nash-Williams sends the follow­ ing note. The remaining half of the Prysg Field in the western angle of the fortress was investigated during 1929. Further work on the defences estab­ lished the line of the outer ditch, and brought to light two more stone turrets attached to the stone rampart. Within the defences six new barrack buildings were opened up, making a total of ten for the whole field. Between the ram­ part-roadway and the north-western rampart a complex of foundations was cleared, representing four store buildings (?) which later were replaced by a single structure, itself perhaps a store-building, extending continuously from the western fortress-angle to the site of the north-western gateway, a distance of over 200 yards. MONTGOMERYSHIRE. Forden, The Gaer. The excavation of this site was continued by Mr. F. N. Pryce and Dr. T. Davies Pryce. Dr. Pryce sends the following note. A trench through the western rampart, near the standing stone, proved that the defences were reconstructed in the second half of the second century. The rampart was here composed of a thick bank of gravel with superimposed layers of clay, separated by thin strata of gravel. NORFOLK. Caistor-next-Norwich. The excavation of the Romano- British town has been commenced under the direction of Professor D. Atkinson. The work this year has been confined to a part of the interior of the town. NORTHUMBERLAND. Hadrian's Wall. Mr. E. Birley sends the following note. The North of England Excavation Committee, in May and June, con­ tinued the work of tracing the line of the wall from Wallsend into Newcastle; secured the plan of the wall at Wallsend (Segedunum); and traced the course of the vallum round the south side of Benwell (Condercum). The turret at East Denton, and the milecastle at Chapelhouse Farm, Wallbottle, were exca­ vated, and the occupation of the latter was shown to have lasted at least till 367 A,D., by the discovery of a coin of Valentinian. Ouston. The excavation of a barrow on Ouston North Farm by Major R. C. Hedley resulted in the discovery of a cist, on the cover stone of which were "cup and ring" markings. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Margidunum. The excavation of the site has been continued by Dr. F. Oswald. OXFORDSHIRE. Chastleton Camp. Mr. E. T. Leeds reports that further excavations have produced evidence confirming the Iron Age date suggested in 1928. The occupation seems to have been of brief duration. RADNORSHIRE. Offa's Dyke. Dr. Cyril Fox sends the following note. The survey of Offa's Dyke was carried on, this being the fifth successive year, for a period of three weeks in July. The survey ended in 1928 at the Mont­ gomeryshire county boundary on the Kerry Hill, north west of Clun. This year the course of the Dyke in the mountain zone Eastern Radnorshire, South­ western Shropshire and North-western Herefordshire was investigated, the survey ending on Rushock Hill in the last-named county. The country was 16 exceedingly difficult, with marked changes of level on the line chosen for the Dyke; it thus provided an excellent opportunity for the study of the technique of the designer. Moreover, the area being very thinly populated the earth­ work survives almost undamaged, save by time. SHROPSHIRE. Offa's Dyke. See under Radnorshire. SOMERSET. Cough's Cave. Cheddar. The examination of the remain­ ing part of the undisturbed cave floor, close to the entrance took place during the winter of 1928-9, and will he reported upon by Mr. R. F. Parry and his colleagues. Soldier's Hole, Cheddar Gorge. Mr. Parry has continued his work at this site. Ebbor Gorge, Cheddar. Mr. Balch has continued work on this site. Meare Lake Village. The excavations have been continued under the direction of Dr. A. Bulleid and Mr. H. St. George Gray. The work lasted for about four weeks. Both in structures and in small finds much success was met with and the season was one of the best of late year". The examination of the eastern end of the western half of the village will probably be completed next season. Kingsdown Camp, Mells. Mr. H. St. George Gray sends the following note. These excavations were continued in April and completed in October, 1929. The whole of the inner ditch has now been laid bare and further sections of the outer ditch, of Roman date, have been excavated. The excavation of much of the interior space failed to reveal much in the way of pits or holes. Among the finds this year are half-a-dozen bronze fibula;, all early Roman, and most of them in excellent condition. The inner ditch has produced several interesting specimens including an uninscribed British coin and two currency bars, both nearly 29 in. long (one very slender), but neither appear to conform to the presumed Celtic standard. Ham Hill, Stoke-under-Ham. Mr. H. St. George Gray sends the following note. After a break of two seasons the excavations on Ham Hill were resumed in July and continued for about two and a half weeks. A large cutting was completed at Ham Turn, which in the lowest layers produced remains probably as early as the third century B.C. A cutting was also made through the rampart at the north end of the northern spur, where a glass bead of the Early Iron Age was found at a depth of 10 feet. A little south of this cutting some pits were discovered and excavated at the close of the work. Taunton Castle. The excavations have been continued by the Somerset Archaeological Society at intervals during the year, and more walling, some of first-class workmanship, has been uncovered. The work is not yet completed. Wraxall. Mr. C. W. Phillips has made a trial excavation in a circular enclosure at Moat House Farm. It proved to be surrounded by two concentric, rock-cut ditches. The lower levels of the filling contained a black Iron Age ware. Roman pottery was only found at the top i ft. 6 in. from the present surface. The outer ditch had sides with an equal batter and a flat bottom (Antiquity, iii, 352). STAFFORDSHIRE. Ashwood Heath. Excavations on a small scale were conducted in this camp by Mr. Mander in the autumn of 1928. The earth­ work was shown to date from the first century A.D. The finds suggest a semi­ permanent military occupation under Claudius, followed, for the rest of the century, by a slight civilian one. (See also Bibliography.) SUSSEX. Saxonbury Camp, Bridge Park. This small roughly ovoid enclosure, consisting of a vallum and ditch, has been excavated by Mr. S. Winbolt. The foundations (17 ft. wide) of a stone wall enclosing a roughly ovoid area within the camp, were discovered. This is earlier than the outer vallum which was built over it at the northern end. Flint flakes were found over the whole area. Outside the stone wall in the south-western part of the I? camp a rubbish dump was found, containing La Tene III pottery, an early Roman coin (defaced) and iron slag. The camp seems to have been occupied at this period by people who worked the iron ore which is found in the neigh­ bourhood. . This earthwork, which was much damaged by the formation of Racecourse, and by allotments, has a charac­ teristically neolithic plan, consisting of four concentric ditches interrupted by numerous causeways. Excavations in January, 1929, by Mr. Williamson and Dr. Crow, proved that the site had been inhabited at that period and not sub­ sequently reoccupied (Curwen, Prehistoric Sussex, p. 67). WILTSHIRE. Windmill Hill, Avebury. The excavation of this site was continued by Mr. and Mrs. Keiller, Miss Liddell and Miss Duncan. The work continued for seven weeks and considerably more of the earthwork was uncovered than in any previous year, including on this occasion half of the central area. The structural features exposed were of very considerable interest, and the finds were numerous. Perhaps the most important was a complete skeleton of a child of six or seven years, which was found on virgin soil at the bottom of the Outer Ditch. The finds can be seen at 4 Charles Street, W.I, by appointment. Robin Hood's Ball, Shrewton. As long ago as 1925 this earth­ work was recognised by Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Keiller, on account of its typical structure, as being of pre-Bronze Age type. The work consists of two con­ centric ditches, separated by a considerable distance the one from the other, while the "causeways" or broken parts of the ditches are very clear. The western portion of the outer ditch has been much damaged by the unfortunate erection of a rifle range, and, where a section had been exposed, pottery, at the time thought to be Early Iron Age, but now realised to be of a type found on Windmill Hill, was discovered, together with flint implements of characteristic type.

IRELAND. TIPPKRARY. Friar's Island. See Bibliography under Macalister. WESTMEATH. Uisneach. See Bibliography under Macalister and Praeger. Ferraghafin. This important site on the slope of the Hill of Uisneach has been partly excavated by Professor Macalister and Mr. Praeger. Some structures of great interest were unearthed. It is hoped to resume work at Easter. BIBLIOGRAPHY. Abbreviations. Arch. Ael. Archaeologia .ffiliana. Arch. Camb. Archaeologia Cambrensis. Arch. Cant. Archaeologia Cantiana. Arch. Journ.

21 Foreword to the Index of the Report for 1929.

Owing to circumstances over which I had no control, the whole of the work of compiling this year's index has devolved upon Miss K. M. Duncan, F.S.A. Scot., who has taken so large a part in the preparation of the indices of these reports for previous years, and who is wholly responsible for the laborious undertaking of ascertain­ ing the one inch to the mile map references of all the sites mentioned in the index to the reports from 1905 to 1926, which map references it is proposed to incorporate in the next issue of that index. The general form of this year's index follows that of previous years, the map references being to the "Popular Edition" of the Ordnance Survey one inch to the mile series. One word of warning should be offered however, and that is that the references to "Chance Finds", many of them in themselves quite unimportant, should not neces­ sarily be taken as meticulously accurate, the identification of the site in the original reports being often too vague to permit of more than an intimation of district. I should like tc take this opportunity of recording my gratitude to Miss Duncan for the ready manner in which, during my absence abroad, she undertook the compilation of this index, particularly since she was still suffering from the after effects of a serious motor accident in which she was involved during archaeological work last summer.

26 SCHEME FOR RECORDING ANCIENT DEFENSIVE EARTHWORKS AND FORTIFIED ENCLOSURES.

REVISED 1910.

The classification of defensive works recommended by the Committee in the above Scheme stands as follows : A. Fortresses partly inaccessible by reason of precipices, cliffs or water, defended in part only by artificial works. B. Fortresses on hill-tops with artificial defences, following the natural line of the hill. Or, though usually on high ground, less dependent on natural slopes for protection. C. Rectangular or other enclosures of simple plan (including forts and towns of the Romano-British period). n. Forts consisting only of a mount with encircling moat or fosse. E. Fortified mounts, wholly or partly artificial, with remains of an attached court or bailey, or showing two or more such courts. F. Homestead moats, consisting of simple or compound enclosures formed into artificial islnnds by water moats. G. Enclosures, mostly rectangular, partaking of the form of F, but protected by stronger defensive works, ramparted and fossed, and in some instances provided with out­ works. H. Ancient village sites protected by walls, ramparts or fosses. x. Defensive or other works which fall under none of the above headings. Copies of the Scheme, containing 43 plans illustrating the various classes of Earthworks, can be obtained from the Hon. Secretary of the Congress. Price i/- each, 7/6 for 12 copies.

NOTE. If any Society or individual has spare copies of the Committee's Reports for 1904, 1906, 1910, 1913 and 1914, of Appendix I. (1900) and II. (1905) and of the provisional ' Scheme for Recording" and the first " Scheme for Recording " 1903, the Hon. Secretary would be very much obliged if they would let him know, as copies are very scarce and much sought after.

29 The Antiquaries Journal being The Journal of the Society of Antiquaries of London

'-T'HIS JOURNAL, of which Volume X. X is now in course of publication, will enlist the interest and support of the general public in touch with archaeological matters. An effort is made to furnish an adequate record of archae­ ological discovery and, in addition to original articles, each number contains many pages of notes recording the most recent events of anti­ quarian importance, not only in the , but also in Europe and the Old World. Another side of the work deals with the literature in the wide field of archaeology. Each quarterly number contains reviews of current archaeological works, not of necessity critical, but giving such information as will enable the reader to judge of the character of any work and of its utility to himself. A bibliography of recently-published books is included in each number.
