Prehistoric Finds

A story of engineering difficulties in prehistoric times and of a last desperate resistance to barbaric in- vaders has just been revealed to the excavators of Salmonsbury Camp, near Bourton-on-the-Water, Glou- cestershire."

The next episode in the story of Salmonsbury, as revealed by the entrance gateway, belongs to about A.D. 367, when Roman-Britain, was beset by Picts from across the Roman Wall, while, the Irish were raiding in South Wales and the Saxons were harrying the coast.

Then the labourers, employed to cultivate the inside of the camp, are pictured by Mr. Dunning as having thrown up a rough stone wall. perhaps a single night's work, across the entrance.

The episode is regarded as of un- usual interest, for it is the first evidence of any organized resistance to these bärbarian invaders out- side the big Roman towns,
