GENERAL LANE Fox has described the old, and, in some cases, successive pile-works in the peat of Finsbury and South-wark, outside Roman London (Anthropological Review, vol. iv. No. 17, April, 1867, pp. lxxi. et seq.). Another very interesting case was evidently under Sir C. Bunbury's observation in 1856, near Wretham Hall, six miles north of Thetford, where, in a drained mere, “numerous posts of oak-wood, shaped and pointed by human art, were found standing erect, entirely buried in the peat.” Red-deer antlers, both shed and broken from the skull, and also sawn off, were found in this peat. (See Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., vol. xii., p. 356.)
