¹⁸ For example, of a dozen sherds of samian, all appear to be South Gaulish. One is the base of a platter (Dr. 15–17) with a bevelled foot-ring (cf. Hawkes and Hull, Camulodunum, 183, form 6A). Other scraps include terra nigra and terra rubra.

²³ Mr. Boyden has also taken photographs of a small squarish earthwork with rounded corners, lying on well-ploughed land at Keynston Down (ST 926057). It has not yet produced surface finds to date it, but it superficially resembles a Roman fortlet. It lies east of Buzbury Rings and close to the suggested course of the Badbury-Hod road, at the half-way point between Lake and Hod, a little off the direct line.
