Intrenchrnents at Aldbourne.

By F. A. Caeeington, Esq. 



HESE intrenchrnents are four in number, and

 The camp called Liddington Castle which is seven and a half 

 acres in extent is about four miles North West of Aldbourne 

 Church, and the camp called Barbury Castle which is twelve and

4. Lewisham Castle Intrenchment.

 names ; the fourth is called Lewisham Castle in the Tithe apportion-

 is shown by the annexed sketch.

 which separates the field in which it is from the road which leads
