Abstract
THE remains of the ancient British habitations on the downs on both sides of Dunstable are fairly well known to archæologists. I have often wished to expose the floor of one or more of these circles, as the task could be accomplished with a spade in an hour or two. It is, however, far better that the remains should be left alone, as it is not likely that anything would be found beyond a few flakes and the other simple forms, such as are abundant in the cultivated fields close to the huts.
