A SUPPOSED NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT. 



identical with deer-antler implements from the Barrows, Grimes 

 Graves, and Cissbury, and can be matched with those figured by- 

 Canon Grenwell in his British Barrows (page 43). 



[(a) A hammer axe of staghorn, perforated for a handle and 

 bored for hafting an implement. Five inches in length. Fig. g, 

 PI. 111. 



{h) A tool of unknown use. The surface has been scraped 

 smooth and the end has been ground and polished, apparently 

 from use. The centre part of this end has been slightly hollowed,

but n(it enough to suppose use for hafting. The perforation at 

 the other extremity has apparently been broken. Length 5;^ 

 inches. Fig. 10, PI. III. 



(r) Implement of staghorn, pierced as is usual with these 

 objects, only in a transverse direction. Fig. 11, PI. III. It has 

 also a tapering, vertical boring running almost its entire length. 

 (See section at Fig. 12.) The form of this implement suggests 

 a handle of some metal tool, and also appears to be worn smooth 

 by the grasp of the hand. It seems to be an uncommon type.
