The Position of the Banks. 



It should be remembered that the ditches must have had their 

 accompanying banks, for had the material dug out been carried to 

 a distance, or even levelled off, the ditches could never have silted 

 up full again as they have done. As to the positions of the banks, 

 we know that that of the rectilinear enclosure was on the outer 

 side of the ditch. Hoare shows a trace of the bank of ditch No. 6 

 on its western side, and it seems likely that this bank was con- 

 tinuous with that of the rectilinear enclosure. 



It is probable that the bank of ditch No. 3, like that of No. 1, 

 was on the outer side of the ditch ; there would have been no room 

 for the bank on the inner side at the entrance to this enclosure, 

 and moreover the fact that ditch No. 4 runs right into No. 3, looks 

 as if there was no bank on the inner side. If the bank had been 

 on the inside ditch, No. 4 would probably have ended a few feet 

 out from No. 3, as in the case of No. 3 itself where it met the bank 

 of ditch No. 1. 



There is no direct evidence, but it seems probable, that the bank 

 of No. 7 was also on its western side, and that it may have been 

 continuous, like No. 6, with the bank of the rectilinear enclosure. 

 There is nothing to suggest on which side the banks of Nos. 4 and 

 5 were. 



It is, perhaps, reasonable to suppose that the bank of No. 8 

 was also on the outer side of the enclosure B, as Nos. 7 and 8a run 

 right into it on the inner side ; on the other hand there would have 

 been no room for the bank on the outer side of No. 8 where it
