Sussex. — The Brighton and Hove Archaeological Club has under- 

 taken trial excavations on the three sites mentioned below, under the 

 direction of its honorary secretary, Mr. Herbert S. Toms. 



Botolph Mounds, near Bramber. — A preliminary 



exploration produced no remains earlier than the mediaeval period. A 

 further examination is contemplated. 



Hollingbury Camp. — Trial holes sunk in the fosse of 





this camp determined the position of the original entrances. 



The Graves of the Devil and his Wife, or Giants' 



Graves. — A cutting was made in August, 1908, in the rampart and 

 ditch of this valley entrenchment on the floor of the Devil's Dyke 

 combe. The question of date has still to be settled. 



Westmorland. — Ewe Close, Crosby Ravensworth. — Further 

 explorations of this Romano-British settlement were carried out in 

 September last by the Cumberland and Westmorland Archaeological 

 Society, under the supervision of Mr. W. G. Collingwood, F.S.A. (See 

 Bibli ography — Collingwood. ) 



Wiltshire. — Knap Hill, Alton Priors. — Excavations of this 

 camp were begun last year by Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Cunnington, and 

 resumed this year. Some notes on the results have already appeared 

 (see Bibliography — Cunnington), and a fuller report is promised. 



Avebury. — The excavations of the British Association were 



resumed in April under the direction of Mr. H. St. George Gray, and have 

 established the fact that an entrance causeway of solid chalk existed on 

 the south side of the enclosure. An account of this year's work appeared 

 in The Times, May 21 and June 3, 1909, and it is hoped to resume 

 operations next spring. 



Yorkshire. — Elslack, near Skipton. — The Yorkshire Archaeo- 

 logical Society is carrying out excavations at Burwen Castle, the site of 

 a Roman fort of about 5^ acres, under the direction of Mr. Thomas 

 May, F.S.A.Scot., who succeeded Mr. F. Gerald Simpson. The position 

 of the stone walls of the fort has been determined, and the remains of an 

 earlier fortification with a clay rampart, directly in rear of the later stone 

 wall, have been clearly made out. One of the gateways of the earlier 

 rampart, constructed of wood, is now (June) in course of excavation,
