[The Editor regrets that time did not allow for the preparation of 

 a ground-plan showing the exact position of these very remarkable 

 graves, which he has personally inspected. Their great depth below 

 the surface, caused by the gradual accumulation of soil from many 

 subsequent interments, would seem to point to a very early date as 

 the period of their formation ; and the absence of any fragment of 

 any material, or indeed of any substance, other than the bones of the 

 skeletons, would also tend to imply that they belong to a distant 

 age. What that age was is mere matter of conjecture, though the 

 Editor would venture to offer his opinion that it was probably much 

 earlier than the thirteenth century, as suggested by Mr. Lloyd.
