MONUMENT TO CELTIC TRIBES

by the purchase of Maiden castle,
near Dorchester, through the duchy
of Cornwall, the king of England has
saved from neglect and possible de-
struction one of the most perfect pre-
historic encampments in Great Brit
ain, the rival OF Stonehenge in age
and interest. The Notifications were
erected by race who existed long
before the days of historical records
and who gave it the name of Mai Dun.
or Hill of Strength Maiden castle
is an intrenched hill rather than a
castle, for on the north side these pre-
historic builders raised three great
ramparts sixty feet high, with deep
bitches intervening, and similar ram
parts were cunningly arranged to Gov
er each other on the other sides of the
hill. The only entrances are by wind
ing paths, which form mazes among
the ramparts and which lead to the
top of the hill, where a great dew
pond was built, in which, by an in
genious feat Of engineering known to
