'In August last, Mr. W. G. Wallace dug trench sections through three sides of a the small square enclosure on St. Catherine’s Hill, Christchurch, and also trenches across and around the central foundational site of the supposed chapel. All the finds were medieval and all fragmentary, worked stones, glazed tiles, cockscomb ridge tiles, painted glass and pottery. No continuous foundations were found from which a plan of the chapel could be reconstructed. He likewise excavated the northernmost of the row of barrows which have somehow got marked upin the Ordnance Maps as Roman Watch Towers, and found a cremated interment and a Bronze Age urn of the overhanging rim type which is now in Lord Malmesbury’s keeping. The record of the excavations will appear in the Bournemouth Natural Science Society’s Transactions.'
