GLASTONBURY LAKE VILLAGE,
Britain's record was menger, however, until the lake village Glastonbury, dis covered by Dr. A. Ballied in 1802, was investigated. The exploration of a still larger lake village on the opposite margin of Meare Pool was began in 1909, and was quntioned during sucesive sons until the war stopped the work. The excava tions, however, were resume last year, rund will be continued this season for a short period from August 25th.
