ditciies (see Section Plate III, fig. 31.) This spur thus formed 

 a Camp within a Camp, and would doubtless serve as a strong- 

 hold or keep, if the outer Camp was forced. 



No. 22. Plate II, fig. 4. — Pimbury, or Pinbury, occupies a 

 point of hill projecting into the valley, one mile above Sapperton. 

 This point was cut off from the plateau by a mound running 

 across it, and there were also defences at the extreme point. A 

 small mansion was built in this Camp in the last century, and the 

 area of the Camp formed into a bowling green, and the principal 

 mound into a terrace walk. Fine old yew trees form an avenue on 

 the remains of the moundswhich protected the point of the Camp. 



No. 23. — Near Bagendon the remains of an extensive in- 

 trenched work can be traced ; they have been much disturbed 

 by the formation of roads and by cultivation, and I have to 

 thank the Eev. W. Dyke, the Rector of Bagendon, for kindly 

 pointing out to me their position and extent. There appears to 

 have been a double line of earthworks, with a space of 80 or 100 

 yards between the two lines. They are on the west of the River 

 Churn, and the southern extremity of the earthworks are met 

 with on the hill above the Bear Inn, at Barrows Bridge. Here 

 the easternmost bank and ditch have been preserved by a plan- 

 tation, whilst the inner line has been levelled, but its position 

 can still be traced. Following these works northwards, they 

 are found to cross the marshy ground near the stream, and to 

 ascend the opposite hill, where the inner mound and ditch are 

 partly preserved at the side of Cutham Lane, and the outer or 

 eastern line has been ploughed down, but its position is seen on 

 the surface of the fields. Portions of the two lines are met with 

 up to North Cerney House Park, from which point they curve to- 

 wards the west, near Scrubditch Farm. These works thus extend 

 for a mile and a half, and probably continued farther westward. 



No. 24. — Mr. Dyke states that there is a line of earthworks 

 half a mile east of the Churn, and directly facing the Bagendon 

 lines. They consist of a line of earthworks, with the ditch on 

 the western side of the mound, whilst the ditches of the Bagen- 

 don mounds are on the eastern side ; so that these two works 

 may have been constructed by opposing forces.
