ANCIENT EARTHWORKS At Denne Hill Park, in Womenswold parish, were traces of extensive earthworks, and from Hasted's words it appears that he regarded ' Denhill ' as Cassar's main camp, and from the great number of (now invisible) entrenchments he mentions in the neighbourhood as being related to the main work, it is evident that the recent destruction of such relics must have been enormous.' On the western side of the river, opposite Barham Downs, are faint traces of long lines of works which Mr. Vine considered may- have been constructed by the Britons, but they appear to us more to resemble the sites of old hedgerows than military entrenchments. About a mile and a half north-east of the Downs, just above the marshland of the Lesser Stour, is the hill known as Garrington (Domes- day, JVariviniofi), upon which are scarped and terraced lines, maybe the remains of the defences of a British oppidum. Barham Downs are recorded as the place of encampments of armies and troops at various times from the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries, and possibly these temporary tenants may have created some and modified others of the works of which scraps exist. Our great regret is that, so fragmentary and doubtful are the remains, we may not devote space to plans and descriptions of them.
