XIV.—Excavations on the site of the Roman city at Silchester, Hants, in 1898

For the ninth successive year we have the honour of laying before the Society of Antiquaries a report of the work of the Silchester Excavation Fund. Operations in 1898 were begun on 2nd May, under the direction of Mr. Frederick Davis, and continued until harvest by Mr. Herbert Jones. Later works, and the filling up of the excavations, were carried out by Mr. Mill Stephenson, who brought the season's work to a close on 26th November. The exploration of the site on a systematic plan was begun by the Fund in 1890, and has continued yearly with such success that out of the 100 acres within the city wall over 60 have now been fully examined.
