212 Stonehenge and its Barrows. 



found only the cinerarium containing the ashes, but the interment 

 was missed. No. 5, a flat bowl-shaped barrow, produced, on the 

 floor, a single interment of burnt bones, placed by the side of a 

 circular cist, which contained another deposit of burnt bones within 

 a beautiful sepulchral urn (engraved in plate xxviii.). Close to this 

 urn was another oval cist, containing a similar deposit, together with 

 a spear-head of bronze, which appeared to have been almost melted 

 into a rude lump by the heat of the funeral pile. No. 6 had been 

 opened. No, 7 has three sepulchral mounds within its area; in one 

 were found the relics of the skeleton of a youth, and fragments of a 

 drinking cOp ; in the central tump was a simple interment of burnt 

 bones, with a small bronze pin; and the third seemed to have been 

 opened. No. 8 had also been examined. No. 9, a large and almost 

 bowl-shaped barrow, 8 feet high. Within a cist, 2 feet deep, was a 

 little pile of burnt bones, and with them an ivory pin, a rude ring 

 of bone, and a small bronze celt. (Plate xxviii.) The cist was 

 protected by a thick covering of flints, and immediately over it was 

 the skeleton of a dog. No. 10 is a "pond" barrow. Nos. 11 and 

 12 adjoin each other, and are wide and low barrows. The former 

 had been opened, and its scattered relics seem to indicate two in- 

 terments having taken place within it, cremation and the skeleton. 

 The latter proved a singular, though not a productive barrow. From 

 the small elevation of the mound it was expected that the interment 

 would have been soon met with, but " we were obliged to dig 10 feet 

 below the level, when we discovered a skeleton, with its head laid 

 towards the east.''^ In No. 13, a large bowl-shaped barrow, was 

 the skeleton of a young and stout man, deposited in shallow cist, 

 with the head towards the south-east, and near it a large and rude 

 drinking cup. (Plate xxviii.) No. 14 had been previously opened. 

 In No. 15 no interment could be found. No. 16, a bowl-shaped 

 barrow, produced, at a foot beneath the surface, an interment of 

 burnt bones, and some instruments made of stags^ horns, some whet- 

 stones, an arrow-head of flint, another in an unfinished state, and a 

 small spear-head. At a greater depth was the primary interment, 

 of a skeleton, wdth its head laid towards the north-west. No. 17 had 

 been opened. No. 18 is a large bell-shaped barrow, 121 feet in
