stone. A short notice of the work will be found in The Times, July 9, 

 1909. It is expected that in a short time the same Committee will 

 explore the camp at Cefn Caer, six miles from Aberdovey. 



Norfolk. — Burgh-next-Aylsham. — Excavations were carried out 

 last year by Mr. Walter Rye on the moated site of the Old Hall. (See 

 Bibliography— Clarke?) 



Northumberland. — Corbridge. — The excavations on the site of 

 Corstopitum were resumed in July last and continued till October, under 

 the supervision of Mr. R. H. Forster. The buildings uncovered 

 included two large granaries, and part of a structure of great extent and 

 evident importance, much of which lay outside the area reserved for 

 excavation last year. The most important find of the year was a hoard 

 of 48 gold coins in splendid condition. (See Bibliography — Knowles 

 and Forster.) 



Somerset. — Meare. — Trial explorations were conducted at the 

 Lake Village last year by Messrs. Arthur Bulleid and H. St. George 

 Gray (see Bibliography). It is expected that a good deal of work will 

 take place on this site next season. 



Norton Camp, near Taunton. — A cutting was made in 



July, 1908, in the fosse of this camp by the Somerset Archaeological 

 Society, under the direction of Mr. H. St. George Gray. The evidence 

 showed that the camp was constructed during the Bronze Age and 

 considerably used during the Romano- British period. (See Bibliography 

 — Gray.) 



Lansdown. — In May last explorations of two barrows on 



the north-east slope of Lansdown were carried out by Mr. Thos. S. Bush. 



Charterhouse-on-Mendip. — In connection with the 



Somersetshire Archaeological Society's Wells meeting in July, Mr. H. 

 St. George Gray has been conducting excavations on the site of what 

 appears to be a small amphitheatre near the Roman lead mines, but the 

 work had to be temporarily abandoned on account of bad weather. 

 Roman construction of the earthwork is proved, and Mr. Gray has made 

 a plan of the area with 6-inch contours. 



Surrey. — Leigh Hill, Cobham. — The excavations mentioned in 

 last year's report have now been concluded. (See Bibliography — Smith.)
