contents and the position of the pebbles, indicative of glacial 
origin—the surface of the yellow sandstone beneath was found 
perfectly honeycombed with pot holes of every shape; from 
perfect circles to oblong, oval and pear-shaped depressions, some 
three or four feet deep. Some of these were worn out in the line 
of a weakness or joint. Were they formed by ice, water, or by 
chemical decomposition? Had any pebbles been found at their 
base, the solution of the problem might be guessed, but in every 
case nothing but sand derived from their sides filled them up to 
the brim. Unfortunately, the amateur photographer, who was 
prepared to take them, was unable to do so owing to the 
weather. The same curious cylindrical holes are seen on 
the foreshore; and wherever the present water of the 
Severn has washed off the superincumbent soil the 
yellow sandstone is seen riddled with them. Mounting 
from the foreshore to the interior rampart of Sudbrook Camp, 
some thirty feet high, the outline was followed to the little 
chapel, built in the ditch at the S.E. end. Composed of 
three ramparts, the inner one being the highest, it plainly takes 
the shape of a stretched bow, as some have described it, and was 
never square. Though the waters have encroached very much, 
and eaten into the two ends of the bow, the means taken by Mr. 
Walker to prevent further enroachments have been successful ; 
the great mass of rubbish which he has ‘‘ tipped” forms an 
effectual barrier both to protect the camp and the chapel, 
together with the graveyard which, within the last few years, 
was being gradually washed away. Now a railing surrounds it, 
and there is a considerable distance of made ground between it 
and the Severn. Returning to the hotel, the members were not 
sorry to finish their day with a good lunch, and afterwards left 
Portskewet for Bath by the 4.56 train, none the worse for the 
unpropitious weather.
