The Tumulus in both is of an ovoid form, and in each the broad 



end where the chamber was situated, is to the east, and the small one 



to the west; the one near Uley-Bury, which is ^^O feet xn length, and 



85 feet in its greatest breadth, beix.g a few feet longer than that at 



""rfx^Lg the chambers in the Nympsfield Tumulus it was at once 

 seen that the upright stones marked more or less perfectly a central 

 passage with one or perhaps a double set of cnxcifo.-m or lateral chambers 

 oneitler side; in the first of which on the north side was partitioned off a 

 smaller chamber or cist, probably to receive some infantde remains, as 

 such were found therein. (See Ground Plan, b .) 



In certain parts, the spaces between the uprights and the walls of the 

 entrance were made up of dry walling, as shown on the plan.
