[355] "Camps of indubitably British date, Saxon, and Norman
entrenchments, to say nothing of minor matters such as dykes
and mounds and so-called amphitheatres, all are accredited to
a people who very probably had nothing at all to do with many
of them."--Allcroft, A. Hadrian, _Earthwork of England_, p.

[377] Maundeville, in his Travels, mentions that near Hebron, "a
sacerdotal city, that is a sanctuary on the Mount of Mamre,
is an oak tree which the Saracens call _dirpe_, which is of
Abraham's time, and people called it the dry tree. They say
that it has been there since the beginning of the world, and
that it was once green and bore leaves, till the time that
our Lord died on the cross, and then it died, and so did all
the trees that were then in the world."--_Travels in the
East_, p. 162.
