from Woods- end to Aldbourne. It is circular, and has a fosse, five 

 yards wide, all round it ; and the ground within the fosse is 40 

 yards in diameter. To the South West there is a steep descent, a 

 narrow valley, and then a steep ascent to the intrenchment next 

 described. 



2. Glebe Intrenchment. 



This is much larger than the one just described, and from 

 repeated ploughings is not so distinctly marked. In both indeed 

 the fosse though traceable is of very inconsiderable depth. It is 

 about a quarter of a mile South West of that at Woods-end ; and 

 from their being on the brows of opposite steep ascents they are 

 visible from each other. It has a fosse (indistinct now) of five 

 yards wide, and is circular, the space within the fosse being not 

 quite 120 yards in diameter. Both this and the Woods-end in- 

 trenchment are on what is now arable land, a part of the Yicar's 

 allotment under the Aldbourne Enclosure Act of 1805 ; but in the 

 reign of King Charles II. all this land was in a wood called Prior's 

 Wood which adjoined Aldbourne Chase, as appeared by a map of 

 that date which belonged to the late Rev. J. Seagram, who was for 

 many years Vicar of Aldbourne. 



3. Chase Woods Intrenchment. 



These woods which adjoined Aldbourne Chase were grubbed up 

 within the last few years when this intrenchment was first observed. 

 From having been in a wood it is in much better preservation than 

 either No. 1 or No. 2. The size is the same as the Woods-end in- 

 trenchment ; but the fosse is five feet deep, measuring the depth 

 from the top of a vallum about two feet high which is on the out- 

 side of the fosse. It is on perfectly level ground, but it is easily 

 found by entering the Chase Woods by the gateway which is 

 nearest to and about 150 yards from the direction-post on the 

 Ogbourne St. George down, called the Round-hill down. It is 

 within sight and about 100 yards from the gateway right-a-head. 



4. Lkuish am Castle Intrenchment. 



This is on the brow of a hill in a field at the back of Stock-lane
