428 Oliver's Camp, Devizes. 



2fin. X IJin. It is red on the outer and 

 grey on the inner surface, fine in texture, 

 and has a tooled surface : Late Celtic. 

 In the 8th foot below the turf: — Eight sherds of pottery, the largest 

 l|in. X l^in. : too indefinite to be of value. 

 Three teeth of sheep, and a splinter of bone 

 2Mn. in length that appears to have been 

 polished. 



„ 9th ditto : — Four small fragments of pottery of the camp 

 type. 



„ 10th ditto : — Three very small and indefinite sherds of pot- 

 tery. Four sherds of pottery, important 

 because they were found absolutely on the 

 very bottom of the ditch. Three of the 

 pieces certainly formed a part of the same 

 vessel, and are of the camp type ; the fourth 

 is very small and indefinite. Mr. H. St. 

 George Gray, to whom the three larger 

 fragments were submitted, says " There is 

 little or nothing to differentiate such frag- 

 ments as between the Late Celtic period 

 and the Eomano-British period. They are 

 striated, and if they were found in associa- 

 tion with, or at the same level as, the black 

 piece, I should certainly be inclined to re- 

 gard them as Late Celtic." The black 

 piece to which Mr. Gray refers is that found 

 in the 5th foot of the ditch. It will be 

 noticed that the sherds were found below 

 the black piece, and 5ft. deeper than the 

 deepest of the Eomano-British pottery.
