157 
feet it faced the south; there were also four transverse walls, 
two of which seemed to form an enormous buttress about 15 
feet wide. I quite agree with the late Professor Rotuzston, 
who, in describing similar walls in one of the Swell Barrows, 
attributes them solely to the neolithic labourer who constructed 
the Barrow, built up for his own convenience, and that they 
are very misleading to modern Archeologists, having no con- 
nection whatever with the chambers. But from the excellent 
manner in which the walls at Randwick have been exposed, 
they prove very valuable in showing the interior construction 
of a Long Barrow, and I feel sure there is no other example in 
the county so well calculated to throw light on this point. On 
August 9th we directed the men to excavate at the south-east 
end, to try and find the external wall at that point; but it 
may surprise those who have not personally conducted the 
exploration of a Long Barrow to hear that we excavated a 
trench three feet wide right through the wall without seeing 
it! I have seen this done so often, though under the keen eye 
of Professor Rotieston, that it was no surprise to me. After 
vainly endeavouring to find this wall for several hours, in a 
regular downpour of rain, we attacked the central portion of 
the E.N.H. end, and were soon rewarded. After excavating to 
a depth of three feet we noticed the top of a large stone; 
coming to the conclusion that this was the main entrance, we 
continued at this spot in August 10. Following the line of the 
large stone (placed on end) discovered the previous night, we 
soon found that we were excavating in the interior of the 
principal chamber, placed exactly in the centre of the east end 
_ of the Barrow (E.N.E.,) that, in fact, we were inside the 
_ boundary wall, which we had hitherto failed to discover at this 
point. The chamber consisted of five upright stones (as the 
plan will show)—
