450 The Sixtieth General Meeting. 



Monkton Down have been found and cleared out, and an interment 

 in connection with a sarsen stone near the Kennet avenue has been 

 examined by the same excavators. The finding and uncovering of 

 the foundations of the old " Coople Church " in a field between 

 Keevil and Steeple Ash ton by Lieut. Chamberlaine is a curious 

 verification of an old tradition, and opens up various points of 

 interest. By the kindness of Mr. J. H. Saddler, the Rev. E. H. 

 Goddard was enabled to examine a portion of the site of a Saxon 

 cemetery at the Fox, Purton. 



The Raising of the Fallen Stones at Zongstone Cove and in the 

 Kennet Avenue. — This was the most important work undertaken 

 by the Society during the past year, and it proved unexpectedly 

 costly, amounting to £95 in all, provided by the subscriptions of 

 some sixty-five Members of the Society, assisted by grants from 

 the Society of Antiquaries and the Marlborough College Natural 

 History Society. An account of the work and of the interesting 

 discovery of an interment close to the great stone at Longstone 

 Cove by Mr. and Mrs. Cunnington is given in the current number 

 of the Magazine ( W.A.M., xxxviii., 1). 



Publications. — During the year 1912 Nos. 117 and 118 of the 

 Magazine were issued to Members, the latter number completing 

 volume xxxvii., and containing a very full index of 65 pages. 

 The usual intalment of the Wiltshire Inquisitiones Post Mortem 

 (Part IV.) was also issued to Members. The Society has to thank 

 Mr, G-. LI. Palmer, Mr. R. S. Newall, the Rev. H. G. 0. Kendall, 

 and the Rev. E. H. Goddard for contributions towards the cost of 

 plates illustrating papers in the Magazine. 



Church and Churchyard Inscriptions. — The Society has to thank 

 the Rev. J. F. D. Stephens and Mr, H. G. Cooper, of Highworth, 

 for MS. copies of the monumental inscriptions in the Churches 

 and churchyards of Highworth and Sevenhampton, and the Non- 

 conformist chapel and graveyard at Highworth. 



Annual Meeting. — The Meeting at Devizes in 1912 under the 

 careful superintendence of Mr.B, H. Cunnnington as Local Secretary 

 was a very successful one, and resulted in the considerable balance 

 of £19 16s. being handed over to the Society. Mr. Cunnington
