CLASSIFICATION.

The classification of defensive works recommended by the Committee now stands as follows:

A. Fortresses partly inaccessible by reason of precipices, cliffs, or water, defended in part only by artificial works.

B. Fortresses On hill-tops with artificial defences, following the natural line of the hill.

Or, though usually on high ground, less dependent on natural slopes for protection.

c. Rectangular or other enclosures of simple plan (including forts and town of the Romano-British period).

D. Forts consisting only of a mount with encircling moat or fosse.

E. Fortified mounts, wholly or partly artificial, with remains of an attached court or bailey, or showing two or more such courts.

F. Homestead moats, consisting of simple or compound enclosures formed into artificial islands by water

moats.

G. Enclosures, mostly rectangular, partaking of the form of F, but protected by stronger defensive works, ramparted and fossed, and in some instances provided with outworks.

H. Ancient village sites protected by walls, ramparts or fosses.

x. Defensive or other works which fall under none

of the above headings.

North Wilts Museum and

LIBRARY

AT

AT

DEVIZES.

In answer to the appeal made in 1905, annual subscriptions varying from £2 to 5s., to the amount of about £37 a year for this purpose have been given by about eighty Members of the Society, and the fund thus set on foot has enabled the Committee already to add much to the efficiency of the Library and Museum.

It is very desirable that this fund should be raised to at least £50 a year, in order that the General Fund of the Society may be released to a large extent from the cost of the Museum, and set free for the other purposes of the Society.

Subscriptions of 5s. a year, or upwards, are asked for, and should be sent either to MR. D. OWEN, Bank Chambers, Devizes, or REV. E. H. GODDARD, Clyffe Vicarage, Swindon.

The Committee appeal to Members of the Society and others to secure any

Objects of Antiquity

found in the County of Wilts and to forward them to the Hon. Curator, MR. B. H. CUNNINGTON, Devizes.

Old Deeds connected with Wiltshire Properties, Books, Pamphlets, Articles, Portraits, Illustrations from recent Magazines or Papers, bearing in any way on the County, or the work of Wiltshire Authors, will be most gratefully received for the Library by the REV. E. H. GODDARD, Clyffe Vicarage, Swindon, Hon. Librarian.
