Notes the possibility that a parish boundary between Ashton Keynes and Somerford Keynes on the Wiltshire-Gloucestershire border may date back to the Late Bronze Age; the seemingly unceremonious burials of five individuals at Llanbedrgoch, Anglesey which may indicate that they were victims of a Viking raid; and the discovery of an Iron Age settlement at Barnard's Farm on the Gwent Levels which is thought to have been used for summer grazing. `In brief' notes the find of Neolithic bread at Yarnton near Oxford, and the redating of Wat's Dyke in the Welsh Marches to the fifth century on the basis of radiocarbon evidence.

Discusses evidence from an air photographic survey which indicates that agriculture and associated settlement was well established in the area before the construction of the Roman frontier. Two sites, Green Brae, near Housesteads, and Fold Hill, near Sewingshields Crag, are cited as examples of native settlements accompanied by fields of cord rigg. Also suggests that the farmers from these sites may have been responsible for large-scale woodland clearance previously attributed to the Romans.
