^{page 31 note 5} Hunter argues that at 1–5 Kings Sq. (Ibid, lxxxvi, 93) stone tower and primary bank are contemporary, and cites the evidence of pottery from the south-east angle tower excavation in 1932 (Ibid, liii, 283) to date the towers to the colonia foundation. His excavation, however, showed that the turret north wall's foundation trench cut the rampart (op. cit. p. 93 and fig. 1, c). The 1932 pottery only gives a terminus post quern off. A.D. 80 and is in any case probably not a group since the construction trenches of the city wall and tower were not recognized in the excavation.

^{page 37 note 3} Mr. Christopher Brooke has shown (in Celt and Saxon, p. 263) that the account in the Abbey History (op. cit. 11) of the founding of the 1089 Abbey logically follows a passage which states that in 1088 Gloucester and the church of St. Peter were destroyed on account of the war between the magnates of England (op. cit. 80). Either this or the building of the Norman castle could have occasioned the abandonment of the old defensive line.

The stirrup, which was unstratified, is similar to two found in the late ninth-early tenth-century boat-burial at Balladoole (G. Bersu and D. M. Wilson, Three Viking Graves in the Isle of Man (1966), 29 ff., fig. 19). The spur terminal has Viking parallels but is of a type which lasted into the twelfth-century (Archaeologia, xcvii (1959), 76, fig. 8, 5–7Google Scholar; Oxoniensia, xxi (1956), 38–40Google Scholar, fig. 13, 3–5).
