Site C. Hut D is to the S. of and adjoins E. They will be indicated on the completed plan of the Camp. Hut D is fairly circular. It measures 17 ft. internally from N. to S., and approximately 15 ft. 6 in. from E. to W. The hill rises on the western side and the wall on this side has collapsed to a certain extent. The entrance, 4 ft. 9 in. wide, faces E. The wall, excepting the western portion, is fairly perfect. The

height above the floor level is 4 ft.

Much black,

sticky soil was found in this hut, especially in the southern half, probably the remains of animal matter. Excepting for fallen stones, there was practically no deposit on the ancient floor. All finds were in the upper 6 in. There were rough stone slabs over much. of the surface. There was not more than 6 in. of earth above these slabs, and probably this had accumulated during the occupation of the hut. Most of the pottery was found in the southern half, in the portion most sheltered from the prevailing wind.

The following are the items found in Hut D:

Twenty-one pebbles; none very large.

Four small fragments of an iron article, too far corroded to determine the object. Suggestive of a boss of some description.

Hut E is oval on plan. The walls are in a very poor and dilapidated condition. It measures, approximately,

16 ft. 8 in. from N. to S., and 15 ft. 6 in. from E. to W. internally. The highest portion of the wall is 3 ft. 9 in. above the ancient floor level. The entrance faces E.N.E., and is 3 ft. 11 in. wide at the internal end. The entrance was blocked with large fallen stones and slabs, and was not cleared. At a distance of 2 ft. to the S.S. W. of the entrance, against the outer wall, was a hearth-stone, tilted up at a sharp angle

away from the wall.

This stone was covered with

charcoal. It measured 2 ft. 3 in. long by 1 ft. 4 in. wide. Straight in front of the entrance, about 4 ft. from same, within the hut, was another flat stone, with the signs of much burning on it. There were no signs of animal fatty refuse in the floor of this hut. The soil was only a few inches in thickness. The back, or western portion of the floor was composed of large rough slabs on the native rock. There was not more than 1 in. of earth over this portion, which occupied about one third of the floor area. The three spindle

whorls and fragments of pottery, described in detail below, were found in the southern half.

The following are particulars of the items found in Hut E:

Spindle-whorl. Stone. Slightly broken. Diameter, 17 in. Thickness about in. See illustration E1, Fig. 7. Spindle-whorl. Stone. Stone. Slightly broken. Diameter, 1 in. to 1 in. Thickness about in. Piercing differs from those of other spindle-whorls in that it tapers slightly and regularly as opposed to the slightly irregular conical sinkings from either side of the other examples. There are some scratchings on one face of an irregular fivesided figure, with four rays, extending from the piercing, which appear to be artificial. See illustration E, Fig. 7. Spindle-whorl of baked clay. Irregular in outline. Diameter about 2 in. by 2 in. Thickness about in. Split into two pieces. See illustration E3, Fig. 7. Pottery. One fragment. Greyish-black. One very small fragment of yellowish pottery. Pebble, 4 in. by 31 in. by 13 in., used as rubber. Pebble, 5 in. by 31 in. by 2 in., used as rubber. Pebble, 3 in. by 23 in. by 13 in., used as rubber.

Pebble, 5 in. by 34 in. by 14 in., used as pounder and for rubbing.

Pebble, 4 in. by 31 in. by 21 in., used as pounder and for rubbing.

Eight other pebbles of various sizes.

A few bones (Femur of Horse).

The brooch-pin and specimens of pottery D1, D2, D3, D4, D7, D8, D, and D10, have been submitted to Mr. C. H. Read, of the British Museum. He very kindly examined them and wrote:

"The relics you have sent are interesting but fragmentary. The brooch is certainly a La Tène type, may be first or even second century B.C., but it is too imperfect to say more with certainty. The dark piece of pottery, with the surface rubbed, is also late Celtic and more or less contemporary with the brooch. The other pottery I would have classed as Roman, first century, A.D."

The various bones have been submitted to Professor

Boyd Dawkins. He identified the tooth found in
