found, embracing three different varieties of a course description, 
some being black and others red, and some of the specimens 
having a projecting moulding which may have been the upper 
edge or rim of an ancient British vessel. 
Triturating, or Rubbing Stone.-—This very interesting specimen 
found in the No. 2 pit, measures 9 inches by 8 inches by 6 inches in 
thickness, the material being millstone grit which must have been 
obtained from the flank of the Mendips, near Vobster, as that is. 
the nearest point where it is found in situ. In a different part 
of the same pit the rubber belonging to this stone was also 
found, being an oval pebble resembling those found in the Chesil 
Beach, about three inches in length and worn perfectly smooth 
as it would naturally be considering the purpose for which it 
was used. A slab of Lias was also found bearing marks of 
rubbing, but not fashioned after the manner of the triturating 
stone, and one or two smaller pebbles which may have been used 
either as rubbers or sling stones. 
~ Tooth.—One of the teeth, which has been pronounced to be a. 
dog’s canine tooth, measures 1} inches in length, and the 
fang end presents an appearance of having been polished, but. 
whether used as an ornament or an implement can only be 
surmised. 
These interesting discoveries have not yet been fully explored, 
but they go to confirm the view expressed by Mr. Bulleid, of 
Glastonbury, that the pit first met with formed part of an 
ancient British village or settlement, and more extended 
excavations will doubtless lead to fresh discoveries.
