to carry the road diagonally across Lodmoor, so avoiding the beach, but the cost

GLANVILLES WOOTTON MEETING. The first Field Meeting of the Clul> was 

 held at Dungeon Camp and Glanvilles Wootton, at the invitation of the owner, 

 Mr. C. W. Dale, on Friday, June 8th, 1900, about 80 members and friends being 

 present. 



The main body started from Dorchester in breaks on the arrival of the 10.7 S. W. 

 down train, other breaks coming from Blandford, and drove by the old Sherbome 

 Eoad to Dungeon Camp, on which a paper was read by Mr. E. Cuimington. 

 This will be found in full later on in the present volume. 



Dr. MARCH mentioned that portions of the Eoman tiles alluded to in the paper 

 might still be picked up -in the camp, and showed some which he had just 

 found. 



Mr. C. W. DALE said that 100 years ago the camp was covered with brushwood 

 whereas it was now ploughed. It was said that in one spot there was a well 

 filled with coins. On the ground being cleared about 1790 by the late Mr. Foy, 

 of Castle Hill, human bones, antique pickaxes, sword blades, Roman coins, and 

 other remains were dug up. 



Captain ELWES, whom the Hon. Secretary introduced to the Club as their 

 new Hon. Treasurer and Vice-President, and who was at his request acting as 

 President, suggested that the derivation of Dungeon was from the Norman 

 donjon, a keep, and Dunset from scdcs domini. 



Thanks having been offered to Mr. Holford by the HON. SECRETARY for his 

 pel-mission to visit the camp, the party returned to the road and drove to " Bound 

 Chimneys," the property of Mr. C. W. Dale, now used as a farmhouse. A paper 

 was read by Mr. DALE, which will be found in the present volume incorporated 

 with one upon his own residence. On the way the breaks were stopped that two 

 fine oaks called Gog and Magog might be admired. 



After seeing " Bound Chimneys" the members drove back to Glanvilles 

 Wootton Church, on which a paper was read by the Bev. Canon Mayo. This 

 will also be found in the present volume printed in full. The party then walked 

 to the Manor House, on which Mr. Dale read his paper, and afterwards inspected 

 his fine entomological collections and the other curiosities to which he had 

 alluded, and, after tea on the lawn and thanks to their host, drove back to Dor- 

 chester rut Minteme and Cerne to catch the 7.0 p.m. train. 



NATIONAL TRUST FOR PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST OR NATURAL BEAUTY. 

 It was decided on the application of the Secretary of the Trust that the Club
