2A- acres, and is still surrounded on two sides (\V. and S.) by its double 

 fosse. The N. side has severely suffered from quarrying in other days, 

 and merely preserves its shape in the foundations of the quarried out 

 ramparts." There is reason to hope that further destruction will not be 

 permitted. 



Lewes Castle. — Learning that a proposal had been made to 

 erect a building for the accommodation of the Sussex Archseological 

 Society's Library in the fosse of Lewes Castle, the Committee made 

 an urgent appeal to that Society to spare the site, pointing out 

 that it " is the only remaining open portion of the encircling fosse 

 from which was thrown up the great mount of the Castle," and 

 that any building would " inevitably destroy the characteristic features 

 of this last remnant of a most important part of the original 

 defences." 



The Sussex Archceological Society is to be heartily congratulated 

 that, at a meeting held on 25th May, it was decided by a unanimous 

 vote not to build on the fosse. 



EXCAVATIONS. Berkhamsted, Herti-ordshire. — Mr. 1). H. 

 Montgomerie has continued the explorations of the castle works 

 referred to in last year's report, and has made a detailed plan with 

 sections of the entire work. The excavations were principally 

 directed to the discovery of the long-buried remains of walls and 

 towers. 



Caerwent. — The progress of the excavations will be described in 

 Archccologia. The examination of the south gateway has shown that 

 it is of earlier date than the wall in which it is set, and may belong to 

 a previous scheme of defence. 



CoLBREN, South Wales. - Some interesting and exceptional 

 features have been discovered in Colonel \V. Llewellyn Morgan's partial 

 excavation of this reputed Roman Camp. As the exploration is to be 

 continued, no details arc yet published. 



Glastonbury. — Four weeks, 7th May to 2nd June, were occupied 

 with excavations at the Lake Village Site, under the supervision of 

 Messrs. Arthur Bulleid and H. St. George Gray. 



Lansdown, Bath. — Messrs. T. S. Bush and G. J. Grey and the 

 Rev. H. H. Winwood conducted excavations on the site occupied in 

 the Roman period, and have been rewarded by the discovery of many 

 interesting relics.
