 Hoare considered these tumuli to be similar to those already investigated 

 in Wilts. Most of them showed evidences of the bodies they contained 

 having been cremated. Amber beads, with bronze weapons, and an ivory 

 pin were found. These barrows Scarth thinks are those of " the Belgic 

 tribe."

The storm travelled from the W. to E.N.E. ; and did great damage in N. 

 Wilts. [The occurrence of these westerly storms must be considered in 

 connection with the fact that it is those portions of Stonehenge which face 

 to the W. and S.W. which have suffered most damage.]
