shallow parallel trenches pointing north and south with their 
heads towards the north. These were full-sized men with well- 
preserved skulls. They lay in limestone rubble only nine inches 
beneath the ground. ' 
On the sites of Osborne House and Picton House(Nos. 11 and 13, 
Park Place) several skeletons were found in sand, laid “ one here 
and another there.” 
Between Nos. 5 and 6 in the Royal Crescent in sinking a well 
Mr. Brice found a good upper stone of a quern or handmill: which 
he gave to me. It was found six or seven feet deep in the sand. 
Where Nos. 2 and 3, Royal Crescent now stand two or three 
little enclosures were found pitched with stones and surrounded 
by walls of dry masonry about three feet high and eighteen inches 
thick, the walls of rough limestone without cement of any kind. 
The pitching was very much worn down. The enclosures were 
about 12 feet by 6 feet oblong. The courts were separate and 
irregularly placed, not adjoining one another. There were also 
pitched spaces unenclosed by walls. Here many fragments of 
coarse earthenware were found. 
These enclosures must have been very similar to the oblong 
walled excavation in the Camp and the curious building on St. 
Kew’s Steps: and they recall the description of Ar Castel Coz 
before mentioned. 
In the field called the Lynch, near Ashcombe, is an enclosure 
probably of British construction in which ancient remains have 
been found. It may have been a cemetery. 
It only remains to point out the sources of information with 
regard to this very ancient fastness. 
In “ Rutter’s Somerset” is a notice and a rough woodcut plan. 
The notices by Mr. Bloxam have been overlooked by others, 
although I mentioned them in a lecture in 1852. I have already 
given the references. The Rev. W. Jackson delivered a lecture 
at Weston in 1860 and another in 1871, and has lately edited a 
description published by Robbins of Weston ; and a paper was
