Somersetshire Archaelogical and Natural History Society has, 

 however, been consulted by the owners with regard to this, and it 

 is expected that approaches will be left to the mound in the centre 

 of the camp. 



Suffolk. — Brandon. — A new golf course is being laid out at 

 Brandon, according to newspaper reports, which stated that some 

 fine old " Roman " camps on the course would form splendid 

 natural hazards. No confirmation of this report has been received, 

 but the attention of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and Natural 

 History has been called to it in view of the possible risk of 

 earthw^orks being damaged. 



Sussex. — Mount Caburn. — It has recently been reported that 

 Mount Caburn, near Lewes, is in danger of being destroyed by the 

 operations of a local cement company excavating for chalk at the 

 base of the hill. Endeavours are being made to save the well- 

 known earthworks on the summit from damage. 



Wiltshire — Warminster. — Two round barrows, reported to be 

 Bronze Age, on the links of the West Wilts Golf Club, have been 

 destroyed in order to make a teeing ground. The smaller of the 

 two was removed bodily and its material heaped up over the 

 other, completely obliterating it. Local archaeologists un- 

 fortunately received no warning before the destruction was 

 accomplished. 



Yorkshire. — Bowes Castle. — Damage has been done at 

 Bowes Castle, the fosse which sweeps round the Norman keep 

 having been partially filled up by tipping rubbish into it. 

 Attention has been called to this and it is hoped that no further 

 damage will be done. The combination of Roman and mediaeval 

 remains at Bowes has never been fully worked out and the 

 obliteration of the ancient fosse would help to obscure the 

 evidence.
