Abstract: |
Most of Sir Cyril Fox's papers are held in the National Museum of Wales, but two notebooks were passed by Fox to Noel Jerman, who in turn passed them to the Offa's Dyke project at the Extra-Mural Department of Manchester University. The first, which covers the years October 1927 to July 1930, contains a variety of material including notes on a number of dykes and other features close to or associated with Offa's Dyke which he was surveying at the time. The second, relating only to the summer of 1932, was limited to his surveys of six groups of short dykes, with an endpiece on Wigmore Castle. The first notebook contained a few other papers including a part transcript of an impromptu lecture on the way down from the Kerry Ridgeway. The volume also includes an unpublished note of Fox's describing an excavation he made at Tallard's Marsh, near Chepstow, which he believed to be the southern extremity of Offa's Dyke. The intention has been to reproduce this material, with an expansion of Fox's abbreviations, and add comparative reports from a date near to Fox's own, with aerial photographs where they could be obtained. Includes an introduction, notes and commentary. |
