154 List of Prehistoric, Roman, and Pagan Saxon Antiquities. 



Survey. In the present List the barrows of each parish are numbered 

 separately, and the numbers as given in theList have been marked on 

 the set of 6 inch Maps of the County which have recently been pur- 

 chased for the Society's Library. So that in the future any given 

 barrow may be referred to as " Avebury 5," or "Bishops Cannings 

 32," and its place can be found on the Ordnance Map, and the 

 various references to it in the List, without further trouble. 



In the List the numbers of the barrows shown on the Ordnance 

 6 inch Map are given consecutively — barrows not shown on the 

 Map being distinguished by numbers with letters following within 

 brackets, thus : — [5a]. 



In the matter of earthworks no attempt has been made to 

 mention any but the more important Enclosures and Ditches in 

 each parish, as they are shown on the 6 inch maps. A complete 

 and accurate list of the ditches and minor earthworks, desirable as 

 it is, would of itself be the work of many years. The inclusion of 

 any earthwork in this List is meant to imply nothing as to its age. 

 It is impossible without examination to say what is the age of nine 

 out of ten of the earthworks of the county. Therefore except in 

 the case of a few obviously medueval " moats," the greater part of 

 the larger earthworks are given in the List. 



Of the casual " Finds " probably the majority of those of the 

 Bronze and Late Celtic periods are here recorded. On the other 

 hand it is impossible to record every find of Neolithic flints or of 

 Bomano-British pottery or coins, both of which are' scattered 

 broadcast over the chalk districts. 



The " British villages " of Hoare, and the Ordnance Survey, are 

 entered in the List under the heading of " Boman " because there- 

 mains found on these sites are largely of Bomano-British age, but 

 it is highly probable that a large number of them were occupied in 

 Late Celtic and Bre-Boman times.
