N.B. 



In every case in which masonry is used for defence, whether 

 wholly or in part, or as an inside wall to the rampart, or as the 

 rampart itself, the fact should be mentioned. 



The existence of mounds or tumuli entirely within defensive 

 enclosures should be noted. 



When a fortress is provided with more than one rampart or 

 wall, the fact should be recorded, as also when the enclosed area 

 is divided by transverse banks. It should also be noted whether 

 such additional ramparts or their ditches are intermittent or 

 continuous, and whether the entrances are direct or of a tortuous 

 character. 



It is specially desired that the position of each work be 

 indicated by noting the number of the sheet of the O. S. (6-inch 

 scale) in which it appears, and by giving the name of the nearest 

 town or village. 



Plans traced from the 25-inch O. S. maps should, if possible, 

 be sent. Ramparts and ditches should be clearly indicated, as in 

 the accompanying illustrations, as well as the O. S. levels, and 

 accurate sections will be of great service. Precipices, as at Comb 

 Moss, and abrupt slopes, as at Mam Tor, should be indicated as 

 shewn on the accompanying plans, and named. 



Although lists of all defensive earthworks and enclosures will be 

 welcomed, it is to be borne in mind that plans and sections of them, 

 based upon personal examination, are particularly desired. 



Though not strictly within the scope of this enquiry, it is 

 suggested that all mediaeval castles should be included in the 

 schedules, since many of them originated in earthworks of Class E. 



Assistance will be duly recorded in the report which the 

 Committee hopes to present to a future Congress of Archaeological 

 Societies,
