edges of the fracture were worn, it is 
probable that it was deposited in the grave 
in a broken state. 
Barrow No.,10, a low one, of four feet 
six inches elevation, contained a burnt body 
at a depth of about one foot from the apex,

Restoredone fourth inear. three more interments. Each collection of 
burnt bones was encircled with flints. The bones were reduced 
by fire to very small fragments; and there was no trace of pottery, 
or relic of any kind, in any part of the mound. 
Barrow No. 11, a low one, slightly elongated in form, contained 
burnt bones about one foot from the apex, in this case not sur- 
rounded by flints. ‘The bones had been carefully laid in a heap on 
mould 18 inches above the level of the ground, and appeared to be 
the only interment. A fragment of a bone implement was found 
but no pottery. 
Barrow No. 8. Portions of a thick ornamented jar were found 
scattered about at various depths, and also one fragment of another 
vessel of a thinner description of ware. About three feet from the 
apex was a collection of burnt bones, and seven small beads, two 
of jet and five of amber, or of some other material, the surface of 
which has undergone decomposition. At a depth of five feet from 
the top of the mound we found the bones of the pelvis, two thigh 
bones and three ribs of a man, with here and there a small fragment 
of burnt human bone. About six inches beneath these bones were 
traces of a short wooden plank, six inches wide, one inch thick, 
and three feet long. The barrow appeared to have been disturbed 
at an early period. A few days later we continued our investiga- 
tions, and at a depth of 18 inches beneath the wooden plank, found 
a cist dug out of the chalk, containing an undisturbed interns 
of burnt bones. 
Barrow No. 9, was imperfectly examined by us, and it was our 
intention to explore it again on some future occasion. 
In the small low barrow No. 13, we found an empty cist only.
