Camp there is another earthwork, on the level surface of the 

 hill. It is a very slight vpork, and may easily escape observation. 

 On the Ordnance Map it is figured as a square Camp, but this 

 is inaccurate, as it is a parallelogram, 150 yards by 60 yards 

 in size, and consists of a mound 18 inches high, with a ditch 

 outside. On three sides this mound is a regularly formed work, 

 but on the north side it appears to have been left in an unfinished 

 state. There is an entrance at the middle of the south side, 

 and a slight depression or roadway in the corresponding position 

 on the north side. There are several slight mounds on this hill 

 to the north of this rectangular enclosure, but they do not 

 appear to have been formed with any definite object. There 

 are remains of earthworks also near the race-course on Lans- 

 down, but they have been so disturbed by the formation of the 

 turnpike road, and by cultivation, that their design cannot now 

 be traced. 



!N"o. 45 e. — Two miles north-east of Bath is Little Salisbury, 

 an isolated hill, the nearly level top of which is triangular in 

 shape (see fig. 12, Plate II). It has been fortified by a mound 

 thrown up all round it, conforming to the edge of the escarp- 

 ment. It is a very slight work, formed of rubble-stones and 

 earth, and is generally less than three feet in height, though at 

 the north-east angle the bank is in one place five feet high, and 

 it has there a slight outer defence ; at the west point there is 

 a roadway leading into the Camp, and here the banks curve 

 inwards, so as to command the entrance. The escarpment is 

 everywhere steep, and on the east and south-east sides is much 

 broken by artificial pit-like depressions, some of which appear 

 ancient, but recent quarrying for stone has disturbed the 

 original slopes, and also the mound on the top of the escarpment 

 at Little Salisbury, as has been the case with so many others 

 of the Gloucestershire Camps. 



1^0. 45 f. — Bury, two miles east of Marshfield, and two miles, 

 north of Colerne, is on a point of a hill which on two sides is 

 flanked by valleys cut down into the Fuller's Earth, and is. 

 defended by earthworks running across the hill-top from valley 

 to valley.
