Prehistoric and Ancient Remains of Glamorganshire. — Second 



Report of the Committee^ consisting of Dr. C. T. Vachell 



( Chairman), Lord Bute, Mr. Gr. T. Clark, Mr. K. W. Atkinsox, 



Mr. Franklen Gr. Evans, Mr. Jamfs Bell, Mr. T. H. Thomas, 



Dr. G. J. GrARSOx, and Mr. E. Se\vard (Secretary), (Drawn %ip

Although a list of all the known prehistoric and ancient remains of 



Glamorganshire has been compiled on forms issued by your Committee, the 



work of specially indicating on maps the ancient remains already I'egis- 



tered has not yet been accomplished. 



The desirability of increasing opportunities for work among persons 

 in the district has been felt, and the Cardiff Naturalists' Society, with 

 whom the movement originated, have recently formed an archteological 

 section. This course was to some extent due to a visit of. the British 

 Archseological Association to Cardiff, during which many objects of pre-

 arch.Tological section of the Naturalists' Society consists of about fifty 

 members, and it is intended that one of its objects shall be to assist in 

 registering the position of ancient remains on maps. Your Committee 

 wish to co-operate with the archteological section of the Naturalists' 

 Society, and request the sanction of the Association for carrying this out. 

 Such a connection will tend to widen tlie interest in the work and to 

 increase the number of those who may be expected to join in it. 



It may be stated that the Cardiff Naturalists' Society have already 

 carried out useful archreological work within the county. Of the 

 inspections, reports, and sketches, etc., which have been made, one may 

 be specially mentioned, viz., a paper by Mr. T. H. Thomas on the 

 ancient inscribed crosses of Glamorganshire, beautifully illustrated by 

 photographs, and published in the Society's Transactions for 1893. 



During June 1894 an examination of certain mounds on the Ely 

 Racecourse, near Cardiff, was made by the Cardiff Naturalists' Society.
