the site, and the uncovering of the bases of the walls of the Norman 

 castle. A Wiltshire committee was formed to assist in the work 

 by the collection of local subscriptions and donations, and an 

 appeal for help was widely circulated, which resulted in a sum of 

 £145 4s. Qd. in donations and subscriptions being received from 

 local sources. It is desirable, however, that all who are interested 

 in this work should be reminded that if it is to be carried out, 

 regular annual subscriptions upon which the Committee can rely 

 are the most practical form of help. The work itself is of a costly 

 nature, and the extent of the site makes it certain that several 

 years must elapse before it can be finished. Mr. and Mrs. 

 Cunnington have both in 1909 and 1910 been engaged on excava- 

 tions in the earthworks of Casterley, the great camp above 

 TJpavon. The results of their work when completed will appear 

 in the Magazine. They also last year carried out the excavation 

 of a curious rectangular earthwork on Morgan's Hill, which, con- 

 trary to preconceived ideas, turned out to be of apparently medieval 

 date. 



" Earthworks. The attention of the Hon. Secretary was called to 

 the fact that the earthworks of Bynoll Camp, near Broad town, 

 were threatened with injury owing to the opening of a quarry 

 close to the ditch. It is hoped, however, that through the courtesy 

 of the tenant, further quarrying operations on this spot may be 

 discontinued. 



" Monumental Inscriptions. — The Society has to thank the Rev. 

 J. F. D. Stephens, Vicar of Highworth, for procuring a copy of all 

 the monumental inscriptions in the Church and churchyard of that 

 place. There are still a large number of Wiltshire parishes where 

 the inscriptions have not yet been copied. It is most desirable 

 that members should undertake this work as far as possible in 

 their own localities. 



" Publications. — The two numbers of the Magazine published 

 during the year have contained a much greater number of pages 

 than has generally been the case in previous numbers. The first 

 part of Vol. III. of Wiltshire Inouisitiones post mortem (for the 

 reign of Edward III.) has also been issued gratis to Members.
