Abstract
THE report of the Inspector of Ancient Monuments for the year ending March 31, 1911, is the first by the new inspector, Mr. C. R. Peers. There are 104 monuments under the care of the Commissioners of Works, forty-eight in England and Wales and fifty-seven in Scotland. During the last year fifteen monuments have been placed under the protection of the Ancient Monuments Acts, ten in England and Wales and five in Scotland. Eight of the newly-protected monuments are situate in Anglesey, all prehistoric monuments, three of which have recently been astronomically surveyed by Sir Norman Lockyer and others. Of the two prehistoric Orkney monuments now under protection, the Chambered Mound of Maeshowe has received the attention of the same authority.
