surface in the silting of the ditch, but too high up to be 

 necessarily of the age of the construction of the camp. 



No. 15. Fragment of pottery, about 1 inch round and much 

 weathered, 0-38 inch thick, brick-red on one side, the outside 

 and the rest black ; resembling some of the fragments found 

 in the rampart. Found in the bottom of the ditch. 



No. 16. A fragment of pottery, 0-68 inch thick, red on 

 both sides and dark in the middle ; too much weathered to 

 enable any idea to be formed of its shape, bnt resembling 

 No. 12 in composition. Found near bottom of ditch. In the 

 same spot was also found a small fragment of a rim, 

 1-25 inch by 0-25 inch, and 0-24 inch thick ; it appears 

 to have been more evenly formed than some of the pieces in 

 the rampart, but was unevenly baked, being red-brick on 

 both sides and black in the middle; perhaps lathe-turned. 

 Such a fragment might be Komano-British. 



Besides the above there has been sent to me another 

 fragment without any number, If inch by 1 inch and 

 0-34 inch thick. This was found near the marks of fire 

 at the foot of the interior slope of the rampart, and therefore 

 probably deposited there subsequently to the construction of 

 the rampart. It is brick-red on the outside, and black on the 

 inside and in the middle ; it contains fragments of quartz and 

 sand ; it is harder than the fragments found in the rampart, 

 and has distinct marks of lathe -turning in the interior or 

 concave side. See Fig. 5, PL V. It is remarkable that 

 this, the only fragment which can with certainty be ])vo- 

 nounced to be lathe-turned, should be found in a position to 

 lead to the inference that it may be of later date than the 

 rampart ; the only other piece which showed any indication 

 of lathe-turning, and that doubtfully, being No. 7 (No. 5a. 

 Fig. 1, the fragment which has the most evenly-formed rim, 

 was found near the same spot as the fragment represented in 

 Fig. 5, and was also in the silting of the interior slope). Grains 

 of quartz or pebble do not necessarily indicate any period, as 

 both the Romans and the Normans made pottery of this kind, 

 but harder and better baked than the specimens under con- 

 sideration. The rude construction of the pottery found in
