Buried Fortress of Segontium,
Near Castle, to Be Ex-
cavated.
OF GREAT HISTORIC INTEREST
Results Of the Excavation viii Be
keenly Followed by Archaeolog-
lists Of Both s4emispheres-
British History Involved.

Less than half mile to the south
EAST of the ancient castle of Carnar-
Won in North Wales lies the buried
Roman fortress of Segontium. The
castle is a grim and lordly pile plant
I'd by a grim king in token Of his
might; erected, SO Pennant says, by
he forced labor of Welsh peasants on
money wrung from the Welsh CHIEF
tains who had failed In the struggle
against King Edward 1. 1t dates back
some seven hundred years in British
history. but compared with the Roman
fortress Of Segontium it is a, thing OF
yesterday, Ernest Il. Ram tells the
Boston Transcript. Long before the
Saxon, Dane or Norman trod the soil
Of Britain the land echoed to the
heavy tread of armed Roman legions
as they pushed on toward the setting
sun In their attempt to establish the
dominion Of the Caesars over the
whole Of western Europe. They laid

1orum) to Chester (Deva) on line
now followed by the London and
Northwestern railway. Through
Chester they passed on to Carnarvon
(Segontium) and struggled across the
Menai straits, over track now fol-
owed by the "Wild Irishman," the
london Northwestern mail train, as
It swirls On to Holyhead.
The Light Of the Spade in History.
At Segontium was established the
.ast Roman fort, at the terminus of
their military road in North Wales.
It is this Roman fort which British
irchaeologists now propose to exca-
vate If the sufficient sum of $4,000
can be raised to defray the expenses
Of the work.
There are few more obscure periods
In the history of Wales than that of
the Roman occupation, and it is not
20 be expected that much light will be
thrown upon it by literary records.
But the spade may give us what we
seek in vain from the written or print
I'd page, and excavation has already

others will visit the site while excava
tions are In progress.
The purchasers of the areas are
willing that all finds shall be depos-
tied in a museum at Carnarvon II a
suitable building can be provided, on
the condition that the exhibition, care
and safe custody of such finds will be
assured in the future. An offer has
been received to house the finds In
the National museum of Wales at
Cardiff.
The Prince Of Wales.
First among those who are taking
an interest in the excavation Of Sc
gontium may be mentioned the prince
of Wales. Before be left England on
his tour Of Australia and New Zea-
land he had explained to him the
whole scheme, and he expressed his
warm approval of the work and the
objects which the committee has in
view. 1t was only natural that he
should do SO, for Segontium lies
within half a mile Of Carnarvon cas-
tie, where his investfture as prince of
Wales took place shortly before the
war. In Queen Eleanor's gateway,
King George presented his son to the
assembled multitude.
The Cambrian Archaeological as
sociation signif1ed its appreciation of
the Importance of the undertaking at
its last general meeting, and its. ex-
cavation committee has recommended
an initial grant of $3.50 to head the
list Of subscriptions. An annual in
terim report Of the excavations will
appear in "Archaeologia Cambrensis."
Active support has also come from the
Society of Antiquaries, and 1t is pro-
posed to solicit the help and influence
of the Smithsonian institution of the
United States of America. The COM
bined appeal to the pocket and imag-
nation of the scientific archaeolO-
gist ought not to fall on deaf ears.
While archaeologists have been
making history during the war in the
near East, archaeology, like most Of
the more serious pleasures of life, has
been hibernating. Now 1t is begin
ming to awake and realize how much
lost time has to be made up, and one
of the first tasks to hand is the ex-
cayation of the Roman fortress of
Segontium. by which, 1t is hoped,
much light may be thrown on one of
the DARKEST pages of British history.
on the history, indeed, of all races of
British origin.
