 DESTRUCTION. The destruction or mutilation of defensive 

 earthworks, and even more of tumuli and barrows, is constantly pro- 

 ceeding in many parts of the country, but passes unrecorded in most 

 instances. Cases which have come under notice mclude : 



Abdon Burf. — The remains of the camp on Brown Clee are in 

 hourly danger of removal in the process of obtaining stone for the 

 construction of the Cleobury Mortimer and Ditton Priors Light Railway. 

 Coal, apparently, will also be worked on the hill. A tram-line has been 

 laid to the summit to facilitate the removal of stone. The camp, known 

 as Bitterley, on the Titterstone Clee has so long been subjected to 

 similar treatment that its fragments are hard to recognize. 



Barnard Castle. — Mr. Duncan Montgomerie wrote in September 

 last, — " I find that part of the original moat is being (and has nearly 

 been) filled up by tipping town refuse into it. The portion referred to 

 is on the north side and is where the ditch ran out on to the cliff : this 

 is being done by the District Council with the consent of Lord Barnard, 

 and the reason alleged is ' to make the descent less dangerous ' ; but 

 the footpath does not touch this portion ! "
