of ground dug was not quite so large as was anticipated. It having been 
ascertained that the magnetic deviation for Glastonbury on January 1, 1904, 
was 17° 1’ west of true north, a north point was drawn on the large plan 
bearing the date 1904. Levels were taken in various parts of the field 
this year, by means of which it was ascertained that the eastern side of 
the village is 16 inches higher than the western side. 
Sectional plans were made of the more important dwellings by Mr. 
Bulleid, and some excellent photographs were taken of the hearths and 
other interesting portions of the excavations by Mr. Gray.

centre above the surrounding level ground. It was composed of four 
floors, the total thickness of the clay being 3 feet 74 inches. The sub- 
structure supporting the floors consisted of layers of clay and brushwood 
and a heterogeneous mass of timber, stones, peat, and lumps of blue clay, 
together measuring from 3 feet to 4 feet deep. Hearths were found 
on the third and fourth floors during the season of 1896. There were 
signs of fire and charcoal on the two upper floors, but no distinct hearth 
could be discovered.
