A complex enclosure identified by aerial photography at Dunragit Galloway, was demonstrated by excavation to have been of Late Neolithic date, and comprised three concentric timber ramped post-rings, 120-300 m in diameter. The two outer post-rings each comprised large uprights interspersed with smaller members, probably forming a continuous palisade. Each was a single-phase structure and the posts had rotted out. The inner ring had largely been made up of large, freestanding posts, most of which had rotted away, but some of which had been deliberately removed, the post-holes being considerably larger than those of the two outer rings. Where posts had been pulled out, a number of elaborate deposits had been placed in the crater left by the post-removal. The entrances to the post-rings are not aligned and the preferred interpretation is that the monument as a whole had two phases of construction, in each of which a timber circle was surrounded by a palisade, and in which the middle post-ring succeeded the outer, or vice-versa.The enclosure had been preceded by a post-defined cursus monument in which all the post had been burned in situ and numerous other post-holes were located on the same axis as the cursus, extending beyond the monument itself.The most elaborate entrance, connected with the middle post-ring, is composed of two parallel lines of features, presumably post-holes, opening toward the south, and aligned on a large earthen mound at Droughduil, 400 m away. Droughduil Mote, though recorded as a medieval motte, recalls the association of various very large mounds with with henges or palisaded enclosures, as at Silbury Hill, Wiltshire. Excavation demonstrated that it had been constructed with stepped sides, and that a stone cairn had been constructed on its summit. A series of optically stimulated luminescence dates on the accumulated sand over the surface of the mound demonstrated that it was certainly not medieval, and was probably Neolithic in date.

Au sud du département de l’Ardèche, et à l’entrée du défilé de Donzère, dominant le Rhône, la cité épiscopale de Viviers est un site merveilleux qui a conservé, en même temps que bien des souvenirs de son histoire, un charme indéniable. Les études et les fouilles archéologiques entreprises sur ce site depuis plus de dix ans ont à juste titre attiré l’attention des spécialistes ou plus simplement des amateurs du passé sur une ville du plus haut intérêt. Yves Esquieu, maître de conférence à l’Université de Provence et auteur des premières fouilles vivaroises, a réuni ici, outre ses propres études, celles de six collaborateurs, chercheurs ou ingénieurs au C.N.R.S. ou à la Direction des Antiquités Historiques de la région Rhône-Alpes. Ces approches diverses et complémentaires permettent de se faire une idée à la fois large et précise du passé vivarois à partir des sources archéologiques. L’histoire antique de Viviers est pour la première fois évoquée de façon systématique, particulièrement les premiers siècles du christianisme dans la ville, maintenant mieux connus grâce à plusieurs découvertes récentes. Pour le Moyen Âge, on trouvera ici aussi bien des études architecturales sur le quartier cathédral de la cité laïque que d’autres, plus spécialisées concernant l’anthropologie des rites et mobilier funéraire, les pratiques alimentaires. Les résultats dans le domaine de la céramologie, seront une référence appréciée pour tous les archéologues qui s’intéressent au Sillon rhôdanien. Cette publication d’ensemble arrive à point, au moment où des découvertes majeures viennent de se produire, faisant de Viviers, le point de mire de l’archéologie française.

Charles Roach Smith (1806-90), born on the Isle of Wight and educated in Hampshire, was apprenticed to a lawyer at fifteen, but a year later transferred to a chemist, where he prospered, moving to London and becoming wealthy from a firm of wholesale druggists and his own chemist's shop in Lothbury, in the City of London. Sewerage and other works in the City meant that Roman and medieval artefacts were regularly coming to light, and Smith's collection eventually numbered more than 5,000 pieces. He eventually sold it to the British Museum, at far less than its market value, so that it could remain intact. This book, published in 1859, describes the excavations, and uses the finds he and others acquired to illustrate 'the institutions, the habits, the customs, and the arts of our forefathers'. It remains an invaluable record of finds arising from the Victorian redevelopment of London.
