3 It is worth recording that there may have been another hill-fort on a spur of the downs called on an old map Silsbury Hill, I mile S. of Cholsey, if the second element is O.E. burh (as it should be) and not O.E. beorh, barrow.

4 The existence of a hill-fort here is inferential only, but judging from the late Major Allen’s air-photograph the inference is fully justified.

5 Except for the last these absolute dates are not specifically mentioned in the Report, but are inserted here by the writer for expository purposes only.
