the second, two or three beads, and in the third, only burnt bones. 



18. Ninety-seven feet in diameter, and 7 high. Primary inter- 

 ment, a skeleton, with head toward the west, at a depth of 7 feet. 

 At a depth of nearly 3 feet a sepulchral urn covering a little pile 'of 

 burnt bones, and almost immediately under them a skeleton. Before 

 coming to the urn were found two interments of burnt bones in the 

 east and west corners of their sections. A perforated pebble stone, 

 about 2 inches lung, and veiy neatly polished, which had apparently 

 been burnt. 



20. Is, what Sir R. Hoare called a "pond ban-ow." 21, from the 

 fragments of burnt bones promiscuously dispersed about the soU, 

 gave proof of a prior opening. 



22. The body appeared to have been placed on the chalk, and a 

 large conical pile of flints raised over it. " From finding some of 

 the bones above the floor, and amongst the flints, we might almost 

 be led to suppose that the Briton here interred, had suffered a similar 

 death to that of Achan.^^ The skeleton was laid from north to 

 south, and from the size of the bones, appeared to be that of a young 

 person, or a female. 23 ' and 24. Unproductive. 25. A large and 

 rude bowl-shaped barrow, 107 feet in diameter, and 6 in elevation. 

 On the floor a skeleton (which had been originally interred from 

 north to south) with a more recent interment of burnt bones de- 

 posited near its feet. Two small earthen cups, a ring or bracelet of 

 bone or ivory, two oblong beads made from bone, and two whetstones 

 and a bronze pin, were found near. 



26. A fine bowl-shaped barrow, 97 feet in diameter, and 9^ in 

 elevation. In an oblong cist, a skeleton lying from north to south, 

 within a shallow case of wood, of a boat- like form. Round its neck 

 were found a great variety of amber and jet beads, a lance-head and 

 pin of bronze, with a little urn of a very neat form, which was 

 broken to pieces. 



27. About 90 feet in base diameter, and 7 in height. On the 



' Dr. Thurnam opened No. 23, and found a simple deposit of burnt bones, in 

 a shallow cist, in the chalk, a little to the S.E. of the centre. He opened No. 

 24, but found it unproductive.
