results, the Roman pottery having been found only at the top of 

 the silting, and in one of them, bronze implements and pottery below. 

 So that there are grounds for hope that, by a similar method o£ 

 exploration, evidence may ultimately be obtained which will throw 

 light on the interval, if any, which existed in this neighbourhood 

 between the Bronze and Roman Ages. 



[This paper was illustrated by two models of the camp, one done 

 before excavation — showing the features of the ground, before it 

 was entirely destroyed by being excavated — and the other after 

 excavation, showing the ditch, with pins marking the exact position 

 of the relics found. These models have been made for my Museum 

 at Farnham, in which there are one hundred and eight models of 

 prehistoric monuments and earthworks of different kinds. Photo- 

 graphs were also exhibited, showing the condition of the excavations 

 at the time each object was discovered, with diagrams, tables, and 

 a map of the position.] 



THE FOLLOWING IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIOUS 

 KINDS OF POTTERY REFERRED TO IN THIS PAPER. 



BRITISH POTTERY. 



No. 1. — CoAUSE British. This contains large fragments of flint, 

 shell, or chalk in its composition, but no sand. Most of the cinerary 

 urns are made of this quality. It is generally badly baked and 

 hand-made ; frequently ornamented. 



No. 2. — Soft British. This much resembles No. 1, but has no 

 grains in its composition. It is badly baked, and frequently red on 

 the outside and black on the inside, or in the interior of the substance. 

 It cannot always be distinguished from No. 1, as parts of the vessels 

 of No.l quality have fewer grains than others. It is always hand-made. 



No. 3. — Fine British. This is generally thinner than the 

 preceding qualities ; red, and without large grains of flint or quartz 

 or sand. It is often ornamented with incised lines, and is the quality 

 of which the so-called drinking vessels, found with the crouched 

 interments of the Bronze Age are composed. It is hand-made. 



No. 4. — HiiRD British. This is generally thicker than the last,
