Abstract

This essay is a series of observations on the Romano-British site in the south west of England, where J.R.R. Tolkien had been invited as philologist to assist the chief excavator, R.E.M. Wheeler, and a place and site which had deeply influenced the story-teller inside the scholar of early languages.
