known as Ambresbury Banks, Epping Forest. 61
another with one bulb and one facet. Found in the silting of
the interior slope.
No. 3. One flint chip and piece of pottery, too much worn
for identification. From the body of the rampart.
No. 5a. Piece of the rim of a pot, red on the outside and
grey in the interior, without any grains of quartz or sand in
its composition ; the sides of the pot 0.40 inch thick, the rim
projecting about 0.24 inch, and 0.34 inch deep. This might
be Romano-British. Found in the silting of the interior
slope at a spot where marks of burnt earth and charcoal
indicated that a fire had been lighted at the foot of the
interior slope when the rampart was intact. A representation
of this fragment is shown in the chromo-lithograph. Fig. 1,

No. 6. Piece, apparently, of pottery, resembling No. 3 in
texture, but too much worn for identification; it had no
grains of quartz in its composition. Found in the body of
the rampart on the old surface line.
No. 7. Fragment of pottery about 1.25 inch square and
0.36 inch thick, brick-red on one side, which is the outside,
and dark brown in the interior of the substance and in the
inside of the pot; it has no grains of quartz in its com-
position. On the inside are striations, which might perhaps
be the marks of the lathe turning on a potter's wheel, but
the outside is uneven and shows no such marks. Found in
the body of the rampart on the old surface line.3 This frag-
ment resembles fragments found at Cissbury Camp, near
Worthing, and believed to be British or Romano-British, the
red-brick colour distinguishing it from No. 5.
2 [The Society is indebted to the author for this costly plate. General
Pitt-Rivers, being of opinion that the objects found were typical of the
kind of relics likely to be exhumed from similar earthworks, very
generously added the chromo-lithograph to the Report for the information
of future camp-explorers. The fragments themselves, with the other
specimens described in the paper, will be deposited in the Museum of the
Corporation of London, at the Guildhall.—Ed.]
3 On further examination I am inclined to doubt whether these
striations imply lathe turning, as the scratches are not perfectly parallel
to one another.
