Rhodes and the origin of the bastion
The delightful island of Rhodes is famous for a variety of reasons, and not least because of its possession for over two centuries by the Knights Hospitallers or Knights of St. John. After retreating from the Holy Land the Knights took Rhodes from the Byzantine Empire in 1309; they left it on 1st January 1523, according to the terms of the capitulation, after a most arduous siege by the Turks in the preceding year. They had also been besieged by …
V.— Some Seventeenth-century Houses in Great Yarmouth
Great Yarmouth has been fortunate in its historians and archaeologists. There, can, for instance, be few towns in England boasting so useful a record of its past as Henry Manship's History of Great Yarmouth, edited by Charles John Palmer, F.S.A., in 1854. Manship's father, another Henry, was elected into the Corporation in 1550, and appears to have taken an active part in affairs connected with the Haven in 1560. The younger Henry was educated at…

The Excavation of Knackyboy Cairn, St. Martin's, Isles of Scilly, 1948
The Isles of Scilly, situated in the Atlantic Ocean twenty-eight miles south-west of Land's End in Cornwall, have long been noted for their number of chambered tombs. Borlase bears witness to this, and has often been quoted by later writers. He dug into some of the tombs with disastrous results and many another must have done the same. For in general appearance the tombs of Scilly are like their fellows in many other parts of Britain; their chamb…
Bridge House, 64 George Row, Bermondsey, S.E
This is a brick house, or rather a pair of houses, built in or about 1706, as is shown by the date on the hood of the eastern door. Damage due to enemy action was made good in 1943 by means of temporary repairs in accordance with the Ministry of Works scheme for bomb-damaged historic buildings. After the end of the war consideration was given to permanent repairs. Since, however, the immediate locality is now entirely given over to industrial act…
I.— Castle Rushen, Isle of Man
Castle Rushen is one of the most interesting castles in the British Isles, both because of its remarkable state of preservation and by reason of its position as one of the chief seats of authority in the island from the time of its erection down to and including the present day
North Street, Folkestone, Kent
This street is close to the area of Folkestone which suffered severely from enemy action; indeed certain of the houses, which were once at its southern end, no longer exist. Examination of the remaining houses, several of them shaken by blast, was undertaken with a view to the removal of any fittings of value, should it be decided to demolish them. This examination led at once to the realization that nearly all of the remaining houses, nos. 13 to…

War and Archaeology in Britain
With the outbreak of war in September 1939 many of the staff of the Ministry (then H.M. Office) of Works concerned with ancient monuments were drafted to other work, military or civil. Yet the tasks falling to the lot of their fellows, who were left at their normal desks, so far from decreasing, as their colleagues of other divisions often blandly suggested, were soon increased very far beyond their normal peace-time scope. It is true that work o…

Linear Earthworks
The Council has decided that the study (primarily the survey) of boundary dykes and defensive linear earthworks shall be the major scheme of research to be sponsored by the Society. It is desirable that reports intended for publication by those workers who will take part in this research shall be prepared on agreed lines, in order to facilitate comparative study of the diverse material thus gathered; it will be appreciated (to take only one point…
The Congress of Archaeological Societies
In 1888 the Society of Antiquaries of London issued a circular to many archaeological societies, which began as follows: ‘In accordance with a request conveyed in a memorial from a large number of representative members of various Archaeological Societies throughout England and Wales, the President and Council of the Society of Antiquaries of London have resolved to summon a Congress of Delegates of the leading local Societies to be held in their…

III.— Stefan von Haschenperg, an Engineer to King Henry VIII, and his Work
For some years before 1538 the politics of western Europe had been dominated by the mutual jealousy of the Emperor Charles V and Francis I, king of France. Henry VIII's diplomacy had often tended to increase the tension between them, since it was clearly in England's interest to divide her potential enemies. The Pope on the other hand sought to reconcile them, and in June 1538 he succeeded so far as to negotiate a truce for ten years between the …

The Silchester Region in the 5th & 6th centuries A.D
Until a few years ago it was customary amongst many historians to suppose that the towns of Roman Britain ceased to exist in or very soon after A.D. 410. Records such as that of Pevensey, admittedly a fort rather than a town, which was not taken until A.D. 491, had always suggested a modification of that View, and more recently efforts have been made to demonstrate that life of some sort continued unbroken in certain of the towns throughout the D…
Grim's Bank, Padworth, Berkshire
The immediate environs of Silchester consist of fields, which are either now under plough or else have been arable for many years in the recent past. Consequently there are few, if any, traces there of the Roman roads which led from the various gates to Dorchester, Speen and Cirencester, Sarum, Winchester, and London. A mile or more to the north and northwest of the Roman town, however, there is a belt of land, which is largely heathland except w…

Early Artillery Fortifications at Oslo and Trondheim
At the present time, when the thoughts and sympathy of many are with our Norwegian friends and allies, it may be of interest to recall certain other occasions on which they have had to face invasion from the sea. Moreover, the fortifications erected in Norway during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are of particular interest for comparison with those of this country during the same period, since, doubtless owing to their geographical posit…

Excavations at Titterstone Clee Hill Camp, Shropshire, 1932
Titterstone Clee Hill lies some five miles due east of Ludlow. It is crowned by a camp which comprises the whole of the comparatively flat top, measuring about 1⁄2 mile from east to west and 1⁄3 mile from north to south. In area (71 acres) and in elevation (1,749 ft. at its summit) it is abnormal amongst hill-forts in Great Britain; both these facts have important bearings on the excavation of 1932, particularly on the lack of finds (see p. 30). …

Finds from Coity, Ogmore, Grosmont, and White Castles
During the clearance of the moats and wards of these castles in Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, which has been undertaken by H.M. Office of Works in conjunction with the work of consolidating the masonry, a number of finds has been made. Some of these are of more than passing interest, and it has seemed advisable to place on record a complete list of all which in any way illustrate the history of the castles concerned

Excavations at Caerau Ancient Village, Clynnog, Caernarvonshire, 1933 and 1934
Mynydd Craig-goch, the westernmost height of a rocky ridge of the Snowdon mountains, slopes gently down to a watershed at the head of the Afon Dwyfach, over which run the railway and the main road from Criccieth and Portmadoc to Caernarvon. Between the ninth and tenth milestones from Caernarvon, immediately to the east of the road and thus on the lowest part of the mountain slope, there lie the remains of a most extensive primitive agricultural s…
Akeman Street and the River Cherwell
The exact course of the Roman road called Akeman Street in the neighbourhood of the river Cherwell, some 9 miles north of Oxford, for a distance of a little over a mile, has long remained uncertain. The road is traceable from the west as far as the south-east corner of Tackley Park, and from the east as far as the north-west corner of Kirtlington Park. Between these two fixed points the road is, conjecturally, marked on the Ordnance Survey map me…

V.— Dartmouth Castle and other defences of Dartmouth Haven
The Dartmouth Castle of to-day, the structure which is maintained by the Commissioners of H.M. Works as an historic building, comprises one tower of irregular shape and two adjacent platforms. Until shortly before the Great War it remained in use by the War Department, but in 1910 it was handed over to the Office of Works, since only one battery, a short distance farther south, was any longer of military value. Work of general preservation was th…
