SCHEME 
FOR RECORDING 
ANCIENT DEFENSIVE EARTHWORKS. 
AND 
FORTIFIED ENCLOSURES. 
A’ the Congress of the Archeological Societies, held on 
July roth, 1901, a Committee was appointed’ to prepare a 
scheme for a systematic record of ANCIENT DEFENSIVE 
EARTHWORKS AND FORTIFIED ENCLOSURES. 
It was suggested that the secretaries of the various archeological 
societies, and other gentlemen likely to be interested in the subject, 
should be pressed to prepare schedules of the works in their 
respective districts, in the hope that lists may eventually be 
published. 
It is believed that the schedules will not only be of value to 
archeologists and antiquaries, but may serve to interest landowners, 
members of County, Borough, and District Councils, and others, in 
these neglected but priceless memorials of the past. 
As the opportunities to use their influence towards the preser- 
vation of antiquities must increase, the importance of securing the 
co-operation of County, Borough, and District Councils is manifest, 
and their efforts would be largely directed and aided by such lists 
as the Committee hopes to secure.
