of bos, probably longifrons, cervus elephus, capra, sus, and canis, besides 
broken vessels, chiefly of a very rude hand-made kind; althougha 
few pieces, found about the yard, bore wheel-marks. The bones had 
mostly been split open in order to obtain their marrow ; and had been 
exposed to fire, and bore impressions as if made by teeth and rude 
knives. Some of the smaller long bones had evidently been employed 
as marrow spoons ; while other small splinters of bone had the ap- 
pearance of having served the purpose of awls or needles. 
In this circle also part of a rude sandstone, hand grain-rubber 
was found, besides some flint flakes, a scraper, and some cores; and,. 
in addition, the outer lip of a large cowry, which had been carefully 
cut from the shell, and had been used as a rasp, the crenulations in 
the lip being considerably worn down. It had, further, been employed 
as a polisher, apparently, the enamel being worn away in places. 
Pits 2 and 3 were only partially explored, as they extended 
beneath the Station-yard. One of them, however, was partly filled 
with calcined flints ; and in it were found pottery and bones similar to 
those above described, and a portion of a grain-rubber. 
Pits 4 and 5 had only their entrances explored, as the circles ex- 
tended beneath the Station-road. In these were found a few flint- 
flakes, and some calcined stones. 
Pit 6 contained no remains, as it was evidently the passage of a 
pit partly formed, and had not been occupied. 
In digging a well in the Station garden similar relics were thrown 
out ; and it was evident the shaft of the well passed through one of 
these pits ; and as furnishing additional proof of British occupation, in 
clearing away the soil around the circles, one of the labourers picked 
up a British gold coin. Its obverse and reverse bore degraded repre- 
sentations of more perfect figures ; in short, the coin was a slightly 
better copy of the lowermost of the three coins, depicted at p. 84, first 
Ed. of ** The Celt, the Roman, and the Saxon” which was there stated 
as being arude copy of a gold stater of Philip of Macedon. Similar 
British gold coins are engraved at p. 36 of ‘‘ Dixon’s Geology of Sussex.” 
Pit 7 was fully explored, and was found to be 42ft. in length, 
from the extremity of the pit to the mouth of the passage, which 
opened eastwards. Its widest diameter, 13ft. 6in., and depth 5ft. at 
its centre, while the passage, at 6ft. from its outlet, was 3ft. in width.
