The Report. 517 



engaged this spring in making an elaborate survey of the site. He 

 liopes next year to use the Wiltshire subscriptions contributed a 

 year ago in finishing the excavations. At Old Saiuni the work on 

 the Castle and inner King has been completed, and the outlines of 

 the Cathedral in the outer King ai-e now being laid bare. Full 

 reports have been issued to subscribers to the Excavation Fund. 

 At the Fox Farm, Purton, during (juanying operations on the 

 property of Mr. J. H. Sadler, several interments have come to 

 light during the year which point to the conclusion that a Saxon 

 cemetery exists at the spot. It is very desirable that in future 

 any interments discovered should be very carefully excavated and 

 recorded. Some further work was done in laying open the remains 

 of the monastic Church at Monkton Farleigh last autumn by Sir 

 C. P. Hobhouse.
