EDITORIAL NOTES

Arrangement
The entries in the Inventory are grouped according to types of monuments,
and the groups are arranged as far as possible in chronological order. Within each
group the monuments are arranged alphabetically. A list of monuments under
parish headings will be found on pp. xxiii-xxviii.

Maps, Grid References and Dates of Visit
At the end of each article will be found the National Grid Reference of the
monument in question, the number of the current OS 1: 10,000 or 1: 10,560 sheet
on which it occurs, and the date on which it was last examined.
Since the first two letters of the sheet number indicate the relevant 100-
kilometre square, the letters have been omitted from the six-figure references.
The positions of all the monuments are shown on the end map.

Air Photograph References
References to print numbers of air photographs taken by the Commission are
prefixed by the letters NMRS, while those to print numbers of air photographs
taken by the Cambridge University Committee for Aerial Photography are prefixed
by the letters CUCAP. In the case of RAF photographs, the reference consists of
the sortie number and, where necessary, the camera number, followed by the
numbers of the two consecutive prints that allow the monument to be viewed
stereoscopically (e.g. 106G/SCOT/UK18, F22, 5366-7).

Metrication
The plans in this volume are provided with scales in both metric and imperial
units, and simplified conversion-tables are printed on pp. xxxiii-xxxiv.
Unless otherwise stated, the ranging-poles that have been included in some of
the photographs for scale purposes are of metric type, each division measuring
0.5 metre.

Scales
To facilitate comparison, the plans of similar monuments have been reproduced
wherever possible at uniform scales. The scales principally employed are: (a) for
the majority of prehistoric monuments 1: 1000; (b) for smaller prehistoric monu-
ments, other than groups of small cairns, 1: 250; (c) for Roman forts and fortlets
1: 2000; (d) for Roman site plans and temporary camps 1: 7500.
