the westof Kewstoke. Anchor Head is too small and t00 
rocky, to have been the only approach to a town connected 
with the Phenician, or Carthaginian trade, while the beach 
at Kewstoke would afford a safe and convenient locality for 
the small ceraft in use in those days. At the top of the 
highest slope of this pass may be traced a considerable 
foundation analogous to those on the hill, though not eireu- 
lar, which I conceive to have been a military work intended 
to command and defend the most practicable approach 
from the sea, on this side of the hill. It is popularly 
supposed to have been the residence of a British or Saxon 
Saint, of the name of Kew; but I am irreverent enough to 
consider that this very apoeryphal worthy, if indeed such a 
person ever existed, had no more to do with Kewstoke, than 
Saint Conger had with giving name to the neighbouring 
town of Congresbury. Kongar means King, and Bury signi- 
fies town. I believe the large wood in the neighbourhood of 
Congrebsury is still called Kingswood, and that thename of 
the place translated into English, is simply Kingston; in the 
same way Kewch is Celtic for a boat, and Stoke means sta- 
tion; and Kewstoke signifies the station of the boats, which 
I believe were much more likely to give a name to the 
village and the stairs than any saint, whether real or im- 
aginary. 
I feel that I ought to apologize for the length to which I 
have extended my gropings in the dark, but I am sure that 
now I have done my best, or my worst it may be, to clear 
up the history of Worlebury Camp, I have left obscurity 
enough to satisfy, as I have said before, the most imagi- 
native mind that evertook the unknown for the wonderful. 
Since this paper was read, the following discoveries have 
been made within the area of Worlebury Camp, chiefly 
under my superintendence. Having obtained permission
