132 Examination of a Chambered Long Barrow 
This was ascertained by digging between the stones at the north- 
east angle of the tumulus. Here, at one spot, were several tile- 
like oolitic stones, the remains no doubt of a dry walling, by which 
the spaces between the sarsen ortholiths had been filled up, after 
the manner shown in the accompanying woodcut (fig. 3), though, 
carried probably to a greater height. In the long barrow on 
Walker Hill (Alton Down), near its east end, is an upright of 
sarsen, and below the turf at a little distance on each side, another 
fallen ortholith of the same stone was uncovered. Between these, 
on each side of the remaining upright, a horizontal walling of 
oolitic stones was found neatly faced on the outside, five or six 
courses of which remained undisturbed. 
Permission had not been given to move any of the stones on the 
surface, and operations were confined to the neighbourhood of the 
presumed chamber, and to digging on the east and west sides of
