33 G feet in length, 40 feet wide at the west end, and 75 feet 

 at the east, with a height of eight feet. The walls of the 

 chamber are formed by six great blocks of stone, and it opens 

 into a passage, so that the ground plan very closely resembles 

 that of the tumulus just described, and, in fact, of the "Passage 

 graves" generally. The chamber and entrance were nearly 

 filled with chalk rubble, containing also bones of animals, 

 Hint implements (figs. 147- -150), and fragments of pottery.
