The same Society has investigated the site of the Roman 

 settlement at Dolaucothy. (See Bibliography — Haverfield!) 



Cheshire. — The south-east angle of the Roman defences of 

 Chester was examined last year by the Liverpool Committee for 

 Research in Wales and the Marches. (See The Times, Jan. 8th, 1909.) 



Dorset. — Maumbury Ring, Dorchester. — Excavations were 

 carried out here in September, 1908, by a committee of the British 

 Archaeological Association and the Dorset Field Club, the work being 

 under the superintendence of Mr. H. St. George Gray. Interesting 

 details were revealed inside the entrance, and the floor of the arena 

 was uncovered at several points. A cutting in the western bank 

 resulted in the discovery at the foot of the bank of a shaft 30 feet 

 deep, containing prehistoric relics. It is proposed to continue the 

 work in the early autumn. (See Bibliography — Gray.) 



Hemsworth, near Wimborne. — The Roman villa has 



been excavated under the supervision of the Rev. G. H. Engleheart, 

 F.S.A., and Mr. H. Le Jeune. 



Essex. — Red Hills. — The excavations carried out by the Red 

 Hills Committee during the autumn of 1908 dealt with sites in the 

 parish of Goldhanger. (See Bibliography — Reader.) 



Hampshire. — Silchester. — Work in 1908 extended from May to 

 December, under the supervision of Mr. Mill Stephenson, F.S.A. With 

 last year's excavations was completed the systematic exploration of the 

 whole of the 100 acres enclosed by the town wall. The remains of the 

 east gate (first uncovered in 1872) were again laid bare and compared 

 with those of the west gate, examined in 1890; the two gates are of 

 similar plan and of the same date. Investigations are now being carried 

 out to ascertain the exact nature and date of the outer defences, and a 

 series of cuttings will be made through the encircling ditches. 



Bournemouth. — Some barrows have been opened in the 



Talbot Woods, under the supervision of Mr. W. de C. Prideaux, of 

 Weymouth. 



Herefordshire. — Some trenches have been cut by the Woolhope 

 Naturalists' Field Club on the site of the Roman station of Magni, near 

 Hereford, and the Roman road near Abbeydore station has been 

 further investigated by the same Society.
