XXVII.—The Camps on the River Avon at Clifton, with Remarks on the Structure of Ancient Ramparts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2012
Extract
The progress of building has of late years destroyed many of the old historic features of our land, removed ancient earthworks, and covered their sites with modern dwellings; and as the growth and improvement of modern cities have almost effaced the traces of the old fortified towns—which usually formed the centres from which they have spread, so their surrounding villas have not unfrequently destroyed the vestiges of the earthworks that once crowned the hills in their neighbourhood.
