Excavations on Roman Sites in Britain.—Sir W. Rince- 
way, Chairman; Mr. Haroup Praker, Secretary; Dr. T. Asupsy, 
Mr. Wi.toucusy GarDNER, Professor J. L. Myrzs. 
OwineG to the high cost of labour, excavations were again suspended during 
1921 in the Dinorben Hil! Fort, which was being examined by the Abergele 
Antiquarian Association, the Cambrian Archeological Association, and the 
Board of Celtic Studies in co-operation with this Committee. 
Work was continued by Mr. Willoughby Gardner upon the site during 1922, 
but too late to bring before the Hull Meeting; his Report is now presented. 
The Committee asks to be re-appointed. 
Abstract of Report on Further Excavations in Dinorben, the Ancient Hill Fort in 
Parch-y-Meirch Wood, Kinmel Park, Abergele, N. Wales, during 1922. 
By WitLoucusy GAarvner, 1.8. A. 
The exploration of this native hill-fort (see Reports of the British Associa- 
tion, 1912, 1913, 1915 and 1920) was continued during a period of five weeks 
in 1922. The principal objective was to endeavour to reach and to uncover 
the remains of the earliest hill-fort erected upon the site, but now buried deep 
beneath the accumulated ramparts of three later constructions. These remains 
have now been excavated in five different sections, proving that the defences 
of the first hill-fort consisted of a stone-faced rampart with a rock-cut ditch 
in front, and, at one point on the south-west side, a second similar ditch. In 
the first section cut the rampart was found to be completely thrown down 
into the ditch; in the second, its ruined wall face stood from one to three feet 
high; in the third, it stood four feet high, showing reparations, and in the 
fourth and fifth, one course of stones only remained; in every case the ditch 
in front was filled with the stones and earth forcibly thrown down from the 
ramparts behind. 
Untortunately, the relics found in connection with this earliest fort were 
few, and consisted principally of such undatable objects as broken bones 
of animals consumed for food, boiling pebbles, pounding stones, charcoal, and 
several sawn antler picks; but on the berm, between the ruined wall and the 
_ ditch, an iron axe-head was unearthed of a native type current in Britain
